Fitness Fact of The Day!!

When You warm up your muscles, you produce heat in your tissues, heat allows oxygen to unbind from hemoglobin to be delivered to the muscles being worked, the more oxygen you have unbinding, the more the hemoglobin molecules will bind to, thus getting rid of the unneeded CO2 and waste that generally cause muscle tightness, soreness or other types of dysfunctions (Muscle recovery/DOMS *Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: basically the pain and stiffness you feel 24-72hrs after a strenuous or "new" workout) getting rid of CO2 and other toxins increases blood flow which in turn increases performance, function and recovery.=)

**This is why it is important to warm up...  A smart warm-up leads to a proficient workout.
