<span>Warming up is essential to improve mobility in your hips and improve overall performance. When muscles and tendons aren’t warmed up, they don’t work as well. This can increase the chances of you getting a strain or partial tear.

The warm-up involved a lot of movement as I went around the cones, but the woman in the picture is sitting on the ground and not moving. Movement means that your cardio is activated. So, I’d say that the warm-up offers cardio along with stretching, while the woman in the picture is getting the benefit of stretching only.
