Usually, I'll just power walk for a little bit, jump up a few times, and shake my arms around to simply get the blood flowing.

I really don't stretch before a workout. Some say you should, others say if you stretch too early into your work out, you can hurt your tendons, ligaments, and/or muscles.

What about you?

i smoke a cigarette on the way to the gym, gets the blood pumping

Yeah, if i don't feel like power walking and jumping up and down a few times...

Crystal meth usually gets the blood flowing as well.

i always stretch, for about 10-15 minutes. especially before running i learned my lesson from not doing it.

yeah thats for advanced training , im still a beginner.

i don't stretch, from what i've read it takes away some strength while lifting, don't power walk either but for different reasons

j/k, i usually jump rope for 5 minutes, then do some plyometrics, then lift, then cardio..

It's a manly power walk. Naw, it's more of a going back and forth quickly and jumping around... just the let the heart know that it's about to get a workout.

Since its been summer I've simply been riding my bike for my workout.

Once it becomes colder; I'll start back running again and lifting some weights and other exercises that focus on some muscle building.

BTW, Spike...

once the cigarettes stop getting the blood flowing... work your way up to some cocaine and then finally go to crystal meth.

I JUST START STRETCHING THIS PAST YEAR WHEN HITTING THE WEIGHTS....I NEVER NEEDED TO BECAUSE MY MUSCLES WERE ALWAYS LOSE WHEN LEAVING THE BOXING GYM........BUT I STRETCH NOW....BUT I HAVE PULLED SOMETHING IN MY SHOULDER TWICE SINCE I BEEN STRETCHING....NEVER PULLED A MUSCLE WHEN I DIDNT STRETCH........ DARTH KONG

3 rounds jump rope

Do 5.

Warm up with a slow jog about 1/2 mile, stretch out and then resume jogging for a least 2 1/2 miles. No matter if the weather is too warm and hot, always dress warm.
