The cold weather makes muscles tighter and less supple, leaving them vulnerable to injury. A proper stretching routine will warm up the muscles. Adding 10 minutes to your workout stretching routine will warm up your muscles to protect them during the cold weather.
Warm-up includes some aerobic activity to get the blood moving to your muscles, like a brisk walk or run for a few minutes. You'll soon feel the effect of increased blood flow.
Dynamic stretching is not the best for improving flexibility. But it is good way to warm up for your sport and improve performance. A dynamic warm-up should include explosive movements such as high knees, skipping and moving lunges. It is important to remember that the purpose of these types of exercises is to prepare your joints and ligaments for the high-intensity portion of your workout. Make sure not to push yourself too hard, but instead, focus on starting slow and revving up your body for an effective and dynamic workout.

Your core stability is called for in this stretch.
2. Arm Circles:
