It depends on the weather, the event, and the clothes you are wearing. If its for a meet or competition in cold weather a minimum warm up should be 20 minutes or so. If it's just to go jogging and you have sweats on or the weather is warm 5-10 minutes should be ok

∙ 6y agoThat is mandatory. Without stretching your muscles will cramp up and will be sore for the next few days. I also like to start with a 5 minute warm up. My favourite is either doing a steady 5 minutes cycle or inclined walk. This is because it gets your heart pumping and warms up the muscles before you work them out.
