Warming up is essential for muscles and tendons in order to limit the risk of injury and accidents such as tears. It helps "heat" the muscles through a mechanism of increasing body temperature and dilation of small blood vessels called capillaries.
You must therefore warm up before each training session in order to prepare your muscles for the efforts. To avoid any risk of injury, we recommend that you warm up for a minimum of 10 minutes and up to 20 minutes.
Consider alternating warm-up exercises and relaxation exercises to gradually raise the temperature. During your warm-up, tightly contract your muscles for 10 seconds then relax them while breathing deeply.
Once your warm-up session is complete, you can begin your series of resistance exercises by regularly varying the exercises for the upper and lower body.
In order to strengthen your gluteal muscles, especially the gluteus maximus but also the hamstring muscles (thigh), we advise you to practice series regularly, alternating exercises.
