Warm-up exercises before morning jogging

Morning jogging helps us improve our body's resistance, but it is best to do warm-up exercises before jogging, so as to avoid problems such as muscle strain during exercise. The main warm-up exercises before morning jogging include hugging the knees and raising the legs, inner thigh stretching, and lunges. You can learn some warm-up exercises and then do them well before morning jogging.

Here are some warm-up exercises you can do before running:

1. Inner thigh stretch: Keep your body straight, take a big step to the right with your right foot, place your hands on your left knee, squat down with your left foot to 90 degrees, and stretch the inner thigh muscles. After finishing with the right foot, switch to the left foot and repeat the same action. Do this back and forth for 1 minute.

2. Hug your knees and raise your legs: Keep your body straight, stand firmly on your left foot, raise your right foot upwards, hug your right knee with both hands, and try to bring it close to your body, stretching the muscles on the back of your thighs and buttocks. After finishing with the right foot, switch to the left foot and repeat the same action. Do this back and forth for 1 minute.

3. Lunge: Stand up straight, take a big step forward with your right foot, squat down 90 degrees into a lunge. Do not let your right knee go beyond your toes and do not let your left knee touch the ground. Stretch your hip joint and the muscles on the front of your thigh. After finishing with the right foot, switch to the left foot and repeat the same action. Do this back and forth for 1 minute.

4. Swing your legs forward and backward: Stand up straight, stand firmly on your right foot, straighten your left foot and swing your leg from back to front. When swinging, make sure to straighten your legs and stretch the front and back thigh muscles. After finishing with the left foot, switch to the right foot and repeat the same action. Do this back and forth for 1 minute.

5. Half squat: Open your feet as wide as shoulders, straighten your body, and make fists. When your hips sit back and into a half squat position, raise your hands forward, without your knees going beyond your toes, to stretch your thigh muscles and shoulder joints. As your hips come up, return to the standing position while keeping your hands clenched into fists. Do this up and down movement for 1 minute.

Additional information:

Before doing any exercise, you must do warm-up exercises first. This is a theorem that all athletes know and follow. The muscles of various parts of the body need to be activated first to avoid drastic weather changes, which will cause the body to become uncomfortable and hurt itself. Most sports injuries are caused by lack of muscle strength, so in addition to warm-up exercises, doing more muscle strength training on a daily basis will also be more helpful for exercise effectiveness.
