Stretching is one of the most important parts of any fitness routine, and is a critical element of a bodybuilding or strength training program because it prepares your muscles for the workout and reduces the risk of injury. Completing a stetching circuit is a good way to help you perfect your technique, exercise with good form, and keeps you on track for all types of workout.
The first part of the stretching routine that is responsible in the supply of blood and oxygen to your muscles and joints is warming up. A warm up routine can be as simple as a fast-paced walk, jumping rope or completing a 5-10 minute session on the stationary bike. This is meant to activate pumping of blood in your entire body and speeding up your heart rate.
