Warm-Up

A warm-up is a brief period of easy movement and preparation performed before a workout, sport, or other physical activity. It commonly combines light cardiovascular activity with mobility drills and movement patterns related to the session ahead. Warm-ups support readiness, coordination, and a gradual increase in activity intensity.
