PRO TIP:
Change up your workout duration, speed, as well as your exertion level and
heart rate to keep improving your fitness and mobility.
STEP 1: WARM UP PHASE
Spend about 5 minutes warming up. Doing warm up stretches before exercising
prevents pulled muscles and other exercise injuries. Stretching gets blood flowing
and helps loosen your muscles so they are ready for
exercise. While doing the following stretches, do not
force or jerk your muscles, and most important, if it
hurts: STOP.
TOUCH YOUR TOES
1. Bend your knees slightly.
2. Let your back and shoulders relax as you bend
over and try to touch your toes.
3. Hold the stretch for 10 -15 seconds.
4. Repeat 3 times.
STRETCH YOUR CALVES AND FEET
1. Sit on the floor or a cushion.
2. Place your left foot against your right inner thigh.
3. Bend toward your right foot and try to touch
your toes.
4. Hold the stretch for 10 -15 seconds
5. Repeat 3 times.
STRETCH YOUR QUADS
1. Place your left hand on a wall or a table to help
with your balance.
2. With your right hand, grab your right ankle.
3. Pull your heel in toward your buttocks.
4. Hold the stretch for 10 -15 seconds
5. Repeat 3 times.
STRETCH YOUR GROIN
1. Sit on the floor or a cushion with your knees bent and
the soles of your feet together.
2. Hold your ankles and bend forward at your hips.
3. Hold the stretch for 10 -15 seconds
4. Repeat 3 times.
STEP 2: EXERCISE PHASE
During the exercise phase you’re building muscle, stamina, and improving your
cardiovascular health. It’s important to begin slowly and increase your workout
duration, intensity, and the resistance level of the pedals slowly over time.
STEP 3: RECOVERY PHASE
After exercising, it’s important to give your body time to cool down and recover. Spend
5 minutes completing the warm up stretches again to allow yourself time to cool down.
Be careful not to force or jerk your muscles as you stretch.
