So what's the consensus?

I usually do first thing in the a.m. and it's getting a little chilly around here this time of year. So I generally use stretching indoors to warm muscles and get blood flowing. Then I end up jogging a few laps around a track before doing sprints.

When I say stretching I mean your basic static stretching we've all been doing since JR High Track. Any other techniques I can use to warm up, prime my muscles, prevent injury doing 100, 200 & 400m sprints for HIIT?

Let me know your thoughts and what you guys/gals may be doing.

Thanks in advance.
