from Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews · host Mike Matthews

Like most everything related to health and fitness, there are quite a few opinions on warming up for your workouts.Some people say it’s vital. That skipping it not only impairs your workout performance but greatly increases the risk of injury.Others say it looks like a waste of time because it is. I mean, have you ever seen a lion “warm up” before it takes down a gazelle?Who’s right?Well, both are, to a degree.What many people do to warm up is rather pointless.

A good warm-up is short and simple, and helps you have noticeably better workouts.So, let’s get to it.Want to get my best advice on how to gain muscle and strength and lose fat faster?
