8. Warm Up Why warm up? Warming up may help prepare your body for aerobic activity. A warm up gradually revs up your cardiovascular system, increases blood flow to your muscles and raises your body temperature. Warming up may also help reduce muscle soreness and lessen your risk of injury.

9. Warm Up - Routine Students will enter the gymnasium and begin walking around the cones. When the music begins playing, students will begin jogging/running until the music is turned off. * Shoe laces should be tied tight, prior to the music being played!
