'**Stretching can either HURT you or HELP you. Don\'t ruin your workout by warming-up the WRONG way** CLICK here to Learn Why Stretching WON\"T Make You Flexible: http://www.criticalbench.com/stretching === You may be among the vast majority of the population who is misinformed about warming up and stretching before a workout. Whether you mistakenly assumed or were instructed to stretch out as a precursor to your workout, you may have been putting your muscles at greater risk. Many individuals think that they are moving or using their muscles during the workout so they need to stretch them before moving; however, research indicates that warming up is a necessary first step to protect the muscles and body. Take a look at these research studies showing the importance of a correct warm-up and it\'s effects on a workout: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0167945716302986 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3849057 http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/14/935 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22067244 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15377965 The importance of warm up exercises can be compared to driving your car in freezing cold weather.
