It can be easy to consider skipping the warm up section of your workout for any number of reasons, I’m running late, I don’t feel stiff, I don’t want to “waste” the time, etc. Warming up is super important for a number of reasons some of the most important are things like gradually loosening up muscles which helps prevent cramping or injury and it helps warm up the body and elevates the heart rate gradually. Every phase of a workout is there for a reason!
