This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This is a repeat of the

stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to train at least three times a

WEIGHT LOSS
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work
the more calories you will burn. Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve
your fitness, the difference is the goal.
