Jump right in…
If you’ve been to any in-person exercise class, had a personal trainer session, or even followed along to a workout video online, then you’ll have heard trainers discuss the importance of doing a warm-up before you jump into the real exercise. It turns out, science has proved them all wrong.
The reasoning behind stretching before a workout was to prevent injuries by getting your muscles ready to go. In reality, studies have shown no difference in how likely you are to injure yourself whether you stretch or not. So you can jump right into your burpees with the blessing of science.
