106: Warming Up vs. Cooling Down: What Actually Matters
In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Laurel unpacks what warm ups actually do—and why cool downs aren't necessary. She explains how warming up sharpens focus, raises tissue temperature, and primes the nervous system, setting you up to perform better and reduce injury risk. Laurel shares five simple principles for effective warm ups, clears up myths about stretching and "activation," and contrasts them with cool downs, which don't aid recovery or prevent soreness.
