Working Out
A workout begins in your mind’s eye. With
concentration and visualization you can approach
your workout with a positive, constructive attitude.
A good pre-workout mental routine is to sit and
relax, so that you can focus on what you are about
to do and think about achieving your end goal.
Warming Up
We recommend that you warm up by doing
light stretching and performing light exercises
on the Bowflex
Xtreme

home gym.
Your Routine
The workout portion of your fitness routine is the
series of exercises devoted to your particular goals.
Remember, make sure to have fun!
Cool Down
An essential part of the exercise routine is the
cool down. Gradually reduce the level of exercise
intensity so that blood does not accumulate in
one muscle group, but continues to circulate at
a decreasing rate. Remember to gradually move
yourself into a relaxed state.
Breathing
The most important part of breathing during
exercise is, quite simply, that you do it. Breathing
in or out during the actual performance is not
dependent upon the direction of air flow relative
to exertion. It is, in fact, a mechanical process that
changes the position of your spine as your rib cage
moves. Here are some tips for breathing:
1) Be cautious when you are concentrating or
exerting effort. This is when you will probably
hold your breath. DO NOT hold your breath.
Do not exaggerate breathing. Depth of
inhalation and exhalation should be natural
for the situation.
2) Allow breathing to occur, naturally,
don’t force it.
