🥋The importance of Warm Up and Cool Down Warming up increases your heart rate and therefore your blood flow which enables more oxygen to reach your muscles. A warm-up also activates and primes the connections between your nerve and muscles, which improves the efficiency of movement. Warming up may also help reduce muscle soreness and lessen your risk of injury. Cooling down after your workout allows for a gradual recovery of preexercise heart rate and blood pressure. ⬛️⬛️⬛️🟥⬛️ #gregorgracie #gregorgraciejiujitsu #bjj #brooklyn #jiujitsu
