Each workout should include the following three parts:
1.
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. Such as jogging on the
spot,star jumps and lunges.A proper warm up increases your body temperature, heart rate and
circulation in preparation for exercise.
2.
Training zone exercise consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (
Note
: During the first few weeks of your exercise programmer, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
3.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help
to prevent post-exercise problems.
