You should never dive into a workout cold. Taking the extra time to prep your body before training will help you get the most out of the time invested. "If you don't warm up, you run the risk of doing too much too fast," says Joseph Mosher, strength conditioning coach at New York University Athletics. "You may not have the mobility to do the exercise, the joint strength to take the load you apply to it, or the timing of the nervous system to use the muscles in the correct order. These can all lead to poor mechanics, which typically leads to injury at some point." So whether it's chest day, leg day, or a long run, follow these steps to make the most of it
