    Warm Ups

    What do people do. I've always thought they were overrated. Animals seem to do fine without them. We never evolved to have to warm up and or stretch for 30 min before the lion or bear was allowed to chase us. At footy I always either avoid or half ass the warm up. Coach calls me over and...
