Our trainers always advised warming up with a cardio exercise before lifting weights. Something about blood and oxygen need to be flowing to the muscles before giving them their beating by lifting weights.

You lose efficiency with your workout if you ask your muscles to lift weights without a warmup first. It's like starting your car on a 20-degree day, and trying to drive it 60 MPH right away.
