COOL DOWN STRETCH
EASY STRIDE WITH TRICEP EXTENSION:
Tones thigh muscles, glutes and triceps
With both feet securely on the foot pedals, start striding forwards and backwards. While extending your
foot forward, bend your arm from the elbow so that you extend your hand backwards. You will feel the
movement in your tricep muscle (the upper rear portion of your arm). Never extend your legs all the way
forward, but instead keep your knees flexible. Continue to move your legs forward and backwards with
one arm in motion for 10 reps and then repeat the same lower body movement with the opposite arm for
10 reps.
Lower Body Stretch
Place feet shoulder-width
apart and lean forward.
Keep this position for 30
seconds using the body as
a natural weight to stretch
the backs of the legs.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
When the pull on the
back of the legs lessens,
gradually try a lower
position.
Floor Stretch
While sitting on the floor,
open the legs as wide as
possible. Stretch the upper
body toward the knee on
the right leg by using your
arms to pull your chest
to your thighs. Hold this
stretch 10 to 30 seconds.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
Do this stretch 10 times.
Repeat the stretch with the
left leg.
Bent Over Leg Stretch
Stand with feet shoulder-
width apart and lean
forward as illustrated.
Using the arms,
gently
pull
the upper body towards
the right leg. Let the head
hang down.
DO NOT BOUNCE!
Hold the position a
minimum of 10 seconds.
Repeat pulling the upper
body to the left leg. Do
this stretch several times
slowly.
Bent Torso Pulls
While sitting on the floor,
have legs apart, one leg
straight and one knee bent.
Pull the chest down to
touch the thigh on the leg
that is bent, and twist at the
waist. Hold this position at
least 10 seconds. Repeat
10 times on each side.
