Other Answers:
You have to get your body warmed up and cooled down otherwise you are more likely to pull a muscle or feel really sore afterwards.

pre-to strech muscles
post-cool down after work out (keeps from tightening up muscles after work out)
both are very important to do

oyu have to because you need to warm your muscles before you start your work out.
if you don't then an injury will appear and it will take a long time to decrease the pain. don't be like me that i didn't pay attention and now iam suffering the consequences.
you need to warm up and cool down your muscles.
iam sure been sore it is something that you don't want to live with

pre gets your heart pumping faster so you don't just start pumping your heart all fast and "scaring it". post gets your heart pumping slower so you don't suddenly just stop your heart and have it beat way slower

Pre workout you should gradually bring the heart rate up, you should also do movements specific to the exercise you intend to do that will warm up the given area.

This increases the blood flow and prepared the area for the work to come.

You should NOT stretch pre-exercise for strength work, as it shows a negative relationship.

Muscle should never be stretched before it is warmed up.

stretching pre exercise has recently been brought under scrutiny and has NOT shown any positive benefit except for where flexibility is specifically required. In some instances, it resulted in injury and lower levels of performance.

Post exercise you should gradually decrease the heart rate (to prevent blood pooling - which is dangerous) and do specific flexibility work appropriate to your exercise.

There are other wonderful pre-post exercise regimens such as Self-Myofascial Release with a foam roller (pre&post), active and dynamic stretching (pre when appropriate and post), etc.

Post workout nutrition should focus on replacing glycogen and speeding recovery. It might be something in this range
0.2-0.4 grams per pound of bodyweight of a 1:1 dextrose:fructose carbohydrate source, accompanied by up to 0.1 grams per pound of bodyweight of protein OR 5 grams of Branched Chain Amino Acids.

For those seeking fat loss, the carbs might be skipped and only BCAAs or protein used.

Pre and post exercise, as well as during, hydration is ESSENTIAL! 1/2 Liter before and 1/2 liter after.with water sipped throughout as needed.

For exercise that runs longer and more intense, electrolyte replacement is also a key consideration!

they're actually very good for you. your body at rests' temperature is usually around 98.6F. and your muscels work best at 102F warm ups help you actually "warm up" lol .and cooling down helps after your workout. its very important to do both. you get a better workout if you warm up. and you dont get pain if you "cool down"
