WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE
A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool down. Do the
entire program at least two to three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After
several months you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week.
AEROBIC EXERCISE
is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your
heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart. Aerobic
fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles eg: legs, arms and buttocks.
Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of
your entire exercise routine.
The
WARM-UP
is an important part of any workout. It should begin every session to
prepare your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your muscles,
increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
COOL DOWN
at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired
muscles.
