Question

what is not a benefit of warming up before beginning an exercise? helps prevent injury; helps you mentally focus for the exercise; lowers heart rate; generates heat in the muscle and joint tissues

Explanation:

Warming up before exercise typically increases heart rate (to prepare the cardiovascular system), helps prevent injury (by increasing blood flow to muscles), helps mentally focus, and generates heat in muscles/joints. Lowering heart rate is not a benefit of warming up; instead, warming up raises heart rate gradually.

Answer:

C. lowers heart rate
