How to warm up the upper body correctly in home fitness training

Most friends who like fitness know that a complete fitness training generally includes warm-up → anaerobic training → stretching and relaxation → aerobic, which is almost indispensable. Warm-up is the beginning of all fitness training. As the saying goes, a good beginning has a good ending.
