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.
