Soothing phase
This phase is necessary for your cardiovascular system and your muscles to gradually
relax. Repeat the stretching exercises, again remembering not to overstretch or abruptly
tense your muscles.
Muscle shaping
At the same time, if you are trying to improve your physical condition, it is necessary to
change your training program. Exercise as usual during the warm-up and calming phase
but increase the resistance towards the end of the exercise phase.
Weight reduction
An important factor in weight loss is the number of calories you take in and put out. The
longer and harder you exercise, the more you burn. However, you also need to monitor
your intake, especially watch out for fatty, sugary foods and portion sizes.
Check your heart rate
To be able to check your heart rate, you first need to know how to measure it. The
easiest way is to press your fingertips against the artery in your neck, between your
muscles and your airway. Count the number of pulses per 10 seconds and multiply it by
6. This will give you your heart rate per minute.
Exercise within your limits
What level of heart rate do you need to maintain during your exercise? Ask your doctor
to give you proper instructions appropriate to your medical condition.
