Warm-up / stretching exercises
A successful exercise session begins with warming up exercises and ends with exercises for cooling
down and relaxing. These warming up exercises prepare your body for the subsequent demands made
upon it. The cooling down / relaxation period after the exercise session ensures that you do not
experience any muscular problems. In the following you will find stretching exercise instructions for
warming up and cooling down. Please pay attention to the following points:
