Warming up
Warming-up is performed before a performance or practice. Athletes, singers, actors and others warm up before stressing their muscles.
Exercise
A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity in physical activity (a "pulse raiser"), joint mobility exercise, and stretching, followed by the activity. Warming up brings the body to a condition at which it safely responds to nerve signals for quick and efficient action.
For example, before running or playing an intensive sport, the athlete might slowly jog to warm their muscles and increase their heart rate. It is important that warm ups be specific to the activity, so that the muscles to be used are activated. The risks and benefits of combining stretching with warming up are disputed, although it is generally believed that warming up prepares the athlete both mentally and physically. In a meta-study of 32 high quality studies, about 4/5ths of the studies showed improvements in performance.
Warm-up programs can improve the strength of the knee muscle, which, in turn, may decrease injuries.
Warming Up
Warming Up is a long-running daily blog and podcast, written by British comedian and writer Richard Herring. A substantial entry has been made every day since 25 November 2002 and on audio each day since 22 June 2011.
Herring originally wanted to use the exercise to help him overcome his writer’s block and to kick-start a day of writing. The blog documents moments from his daily life and his reflections upon them, often as practice for his job of writing humorous material.
Some subjects covered in Warming Up are often reframed in Herring's weekly Metro newspaper column. Similarly, some of the ideas written in his blog have been used in his live stand up shows since 2005. It also proved a useful source for his 2010 book How Not To Grow Up.
In 2005, Herring attempted to convert Warming Up into a sitcom called Blog but it was not commissioned. The pilot script can be seen in The Box Lady and Other Pesticles (see below).
From 20 February 2014 Richard chose a blog each week to read as a segment fellow presenter Lou Sanders named 'Dicky's Diary' for The Richard Herring Show on Fubar Radio.
