Throwing is a whole body activity and therefore, we must warm-up the entire body to maximize performance and reduce the risk of injury.

The goals of this warm-up are:

• To increase our body temperature and blood flow
• To prepare the joints to work through a large range of motion
• To prepare the muscles to protect the joints

We begin with a dynamic warm-up for our entire body and then focus in on our shoulder muscles. We should perform 10-15 repetitions of each movement, gradually increasing as our muscles develop more endurance.
