With the beautiful weather of summer comes an increase in many people’s activity levels. We are more motivated to get out and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. With the increase in physical activity comes an increase in activity-related injuries and muscle strains. To reduce injury occurrence, a very simple thing we all can do is some easy warm-up exercises. Lunges, bending forward, arm circles, side bending, and jumping jacks are some great exercises that can warm up and stretch a lot of muscles before we get going. Post-exercise stretching will also reduce your risk of injury. Enjoy the sunshine!
