warm-up exercises
Limbering before exertion
Warm-up exercises are physical activities performed before more strenuous exercise or athletic competition.
The purpose is to gradually increase heart rate, loosen muscles, and prepare the body for exertion—reducing injury risk and improving performance.
Stretching, light jogging, and jumping jacks are typical warm-ups.
