Description

Circling the joints is an essential warm-up exercise and should always be performed before starting training. The joints are supplied with synovial fluid (lubricated), which reduces the risk of injury. It also warms up the surrounding muscles and stimulates blood circulation. Neck circles warm up your neck muscles and cervical spine.
