(NAPSI)—No matter the season, preparation is key if you want to get the maximum benefit from your workout. Warming up, for instance, is critical whether your sport is basketball, baseball, spring football, lacrosse or soccer.

The same is true when it comes to what you wear—top to bottom. Layering and fabrics all play a role in the success of a workout, especially when the weather is unpredictable.

Choose The Right Apparel: Wearing comfortable clothing that wicks moisture away from the skin can also make a difference.

Warm Up: Warming up before starting your routine helps to reduce the risk of tearing or straining muscles.

Cool Down: Many believe gradually reducing the temperature of your muscles can help reduce injury and stiffness.
