WARM UP WITH THE WEATHER
Now that the weather is getting warmer and spring is upon us, it's natural to have the desire to get outside for your workouts. If you're anything like me, you feel you've been tied up all winter and you've just been released. While I'm tempted every morning to jump out the door and start a run, I'm careful to pay special attention to my warm up. Even though the weather is warmer, it's not summer yet. It's still a little cool outside, especially in the early morning. Recently I've been making sure to warm my body up with some dynamic stretches before running out the door. Just as importantly, I've been taking a little extra time to cool down and stretch at the end of my cardio or training sessions. The worst thing would be to get an injury just before the summer because I let the excitement of getting outside get the best of me. So, this spring as the weather is warming up, remember to take the time to warm up yourself. And of course, enjoy every bit of the weather as we approach my favorite season of all... SUMMER ;) CRUSH TIME!
