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. You should begin with it
before every session to prepare your body for a more strenuous workout. It
helps to heat up and stretch your muscles, increases your circulation and pulse
rate, and delivers more oxygen to your muscles.
COOL DOWN
at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce
soreness in tired muscles.
Inner Thigh Stretch
Sit with the soles of your feet together with your
knees pointing outward. Pull your feet as close
into your groin as possible. Gently push your
knees towards the floor. Hold for 15 counts.
