Warm up
I. WARM-UP PHASE
This phase should help improving blood circulation and make your muscles working properly while reducing a cramp risk
or injury. It is advisable to do a few stretching exercises as shown below. Each stretching exercise should be taken for
approx. 30 seconds. Don’t overstretch and don’t jerk your muscles. If you feel pain, stop immediately.
II. EXERCISE PHASE
It is a phase, during which you should put in your effort. After regular workout, your leg muscles should get more
flexible. Keep steady tempo throughout your exercising. The workout intensity should be sufficient to raise your
heartbeat into the target zone as shown below.
NOTE: This stage should last for at least 12 mins. Thus, most people start at approx. 15-20 mins.
III. COOL-DOWN PHASE
In this stage, your cardio-vascular system and muscles should get calm. Repeat the warm-up exercises,
reduce your tempo and continue for approx. 5 mins. Repeat the stretching exercises, but don’t overstretch or

times a week and, if possible, to space your workouts evenly throughout a week.
