WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE 

A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool 

down.  Do the entire program at least two to three times a week, resting for a 

day between workouts.    After several months you can increase your workouts 

to four or five times per week. 

AEROBIC EXERCISE

 is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your 

muscles via your heart and lungs.    Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of 

your lungs and heart.    Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses 

your large muscles eg: legs, arms and buttocks.    Your heart beats quickly and 

you breathe deeply.    An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire 

exercise routine. 

The

 WARM-UP

 is an important part of any workout.    It should begin every 

session to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and 

stretching your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and 

delivering more oxygen to your muscles.     

COOL DOWN

 at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce 

soreness in tired muscles.
