The warnings such as "Heads up" ("Fore" in Golf) do not mean duck, although you and others might do so. The announcement means that you see something happening that others should "look up" and be aware of it as well. Once you see the threat, you can decide whether to duck or take some other action. If you don't immediately see anything, ducking is the action most people take.

Similarly, the idiomatic noun "heads-up" means a warning about a situation that another person may not be aware of, e.g. Joe gave me a heads-up on the office reorganization.
