Warming up

Stretching is not warming up! It is, however, a very nessecary part of warming up. Warming up is the process of "warming up" (i.e.,building your core body temperature). A proper warm-up should build your body temperature by one or two degrees Celsius (1.4 to 2.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and is divided into three phases: A. General warm-up (The general warm-up is divided into two parts): Joint rotations, the general warm-up should begin with joint-rotations, beginning either from your toes and working

When we pull up, the Mason City team is already warming up. We get out of the suburban and get our things out of the back and head to the courts. Mr. Davies meets with the Mason City coach discussing how many games to play and which players are playing which positions as the team and I warm up, which goes by fast in the warm weather. When we go and meet the other team I notice that most of them are as tall as trees, looming over the rest of us. That's bad. Usually tennis players who are tall are

Counting down the seconds in a crowded dark hallway, listening behind doors to the song Welcome to the Jungle blasting in the gymnasium mixed with the sounds of the crowds roaring. The only thoughts going through everyone's head, is that this might be the last time we ever play together again. As soon as the song gets to the que we run out of the hallway under a tunnel made of arms, running into the moment that can make it or break it. A timeless sport filled with -- rapid movements, sweat, anxiety

After we got everything set up in our dugout we went to warm up. As we were hitting in the batting cages teams were coming up to us and saying how amazing we were and how bad they wanted us to win this game. This made us even more pumped to win. After we got back from the batting cages it was so packed with people and there were many softball and baseball teams there to watch the game. We had to take grounders and pop flies. Which we were doing really good. As I was warming up our number one pitcher I

Little tiny 3rd grade me getting ready for my very first game. I was very nervous and excited to play. I put on my jersey that read pass it, set it crush it. Then I put on my knee pads and tennis shoes. I pulled my hair into a ponytail. Finally, I filled up my water bottle and waited to go. In 3rd grade or rec volleyball you don 't have specific positions. You rotate all the way through the six rotations and when you lose the point when you are serving, you go into serve receive. Once you win

BANG! BANG! BANG! Was the sound I was use to waking up every morning. It was early in the morning I dreaded our early morning skate. Going from a hot humid day to cool ice rink is very refreshing. This year was voted captain, something that I was very proud of. We had a game this wednesday evening. The team we were playing were animals every one of them. The sport those boys played was more like cage fighting than hockey. When we were warming up Jack, the captain on the other team came over to me

The first whistle blew and I knew it was time to get up on the starting block. It was blue with “BOISE Y SWIMTEAM” written in white. There were silver poles on the side to push off of for power. Second whistle and the pale older man with snow white hair saying “take your mark.” Next was the sound every swimmer hopes not to imagine too early for a false start. The time for the buzzer had come. The buzzer went off and all of us were off the blocks in one sudden push. This was my most important race

I loved running ever since I could walk on my two feet. I started to like running when I saw my dad coaching the track and field team at this school. I felt like the competition of running.My favorite part were the races. The racing was the best part because everybody was cheetah fast. It would be two or more people neck to neck to win the race. As they zoomed pass for first. The first day of school of middle school was so awesome so much new things became accessed in middle school. The hallways

skydiving. Everything seems irrelevant in a race. The only thing on a runner's mind during a race is finishing as best as possible. The most important thing to do going into a race is prepare yourself. You need to warm up, drink a lot of water, and build up confidence. Warming up can be done however you want, but building confidence for a race can be difficult, however, it is truly the most important thing. Going into a race assuming you are going to lose completely ruins your chance at winning.

Phase 2 - 6 mins of Dynamic movement stretches.
