There are two ways to warm up: the first type consists of core exercises; the second, dynamic flexibility. Never do static stretching (extended holds for 20 seconds or more) at the beginning of a workout or practice. Static stretching before a workout will decrease the elasticity of the muscle and increase the risk of injury by 200%. These types of movements and holds should always be saved for the end of your workout during the cool-down phase.
