Warm up exercises help increase the blood flow and muscle temperature. Both limbering and movement rehearsal exercises help prepare your body for more vigourous exercise by increasing the range of motino of the joint and its attachments, raising muscle and body temperature, increasing circulation to the tissues surrounding the joints, and maximizing neuromuscular function.
Movement rehearsal-light or less intense versions of movements or patterns that will be used in the workout to follow
Limbering- multi-joint exercise techniques that incorporate large muscle groups and are performed at a smooth and moderate pace.
