WARM-UP AND COOL DOWN
WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise and a cool-down. Exercise for at least two
or preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you may increase
the frequency to four or five times per week.
WARM-UP
This stage helps to improve the blood circulation and prepares the muscles for your workout. It additionally helps
to reduce the risk of injury or cramps. It is recommended to do some stretching exercises as shown here below.
Hold each stretching position for approximately 30 seconds. Never force or jerk yourself into a stretching posi-
tion – if you feel pain, STOP immediately. Warm-up exercises may also include brisk walking, jogging, jumping
jacks, jump rope exercises or running in place.
STRETCHING
Muscles can be stretched more easily when these are warm. This reduces the risk of injury. DO NOT BOUNCE.
Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.
COOL-DOWN
This stage helps to soothe your muscles and your cardiovascular system after your workout. At the end of your
workout, reduce the speed and exercise for approximately 5 minutes at this lower speed level. Afterwards,
repeat the warm-up exercises as described above.
