A warm-up can consist of anything that will raise your heart rate and get the blood flowing to your muscles. Walking, jogging, or any other low intensity exercises, are great ways to warm up for a cardiovascular workout. The increase in blood flow to your muscles makes them more pliable and increases their flexibility, making it easier to stretch them. Warming up before beginning your cardio workout will help to reduce the risk of injury, such as straining or pulling a muscle. In general, 5-10 minutes is usually adequate time for a proper warm-up, but different routines may call for a longer or shorter warm up period.
