Explanation
Answer - C - A general warm-up is a brief low-intensity workout that may or may not relate to the more intense workout to follow. This type of warm-up allows an individual to increase his or her cardiorespiratory system’s ability when exercising, increase blood flow to the muscles, and increase oxygen exchange capabilities. Examples of general warm-ups include walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike before doing strength training. Such warm-ups usually last 5 to 10 minutes.
