Incorporate dynamic stretching exercises prior to your workout such as jogging in place with high knees, side-to-side leg swings, walking lunges and forward/backward arm swings.  Dynamic exercises prepares the muscles in a sport specific way and helps to improve the range of motion around your joints; thus, reduces the risk of injury.
