Warming up too fast
Starting your warm-up too early can cause your muscles to become sore. Slow movements help your body adapt safely and effectively.

Going too hard during warm-up
Warming up will prepare you, not tire you out. Pushing too hard too soon can cause strain or injury.

Skipping the mental preparation
Before warming up, your mind needs to be as ready as your body. A quick focus on breathing and intention will improve your performance.

Skipping the warm-up entirely
If you skip a warm-up, you are at a higher risk of muscle injury. Even 5-7 minutes of movement can make a big difference.

Holding your breath during warm-up
Holding your breath reduces your oxygen supply, making you feel tired, and it's not good for your health either. So try to keep your breathing normal during your warm-up.

Not staying hydrated before starting
Not properly hydrating your body before a warm-up can make you feel weak and reduce your performance, so even a small amount of water will help you have extra energy for your warm-up.

Ignoring mobility and joint activation
Ignoring mobility can leave your joints stiff and unresponsive. Light exercise improves flexibility and can help protect you during workouts.
