WARM UP EXERCISES
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-
down. Do the entire program at least two and preferably 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.
Warming up is an important part of your workout, and should begin every session. It
prepares your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching out your
muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your
muscles. At the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce sore muscle
problems. We suggest the following warm-up and cool-down exercises:
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.
Hamstring Stretch
Sit with your right leg extended. Rest the
sole of your left foot against your right
inner thigh. Stretch toward your toe as far
as possible. Hold for 15 counts. Relax and
then repeat with left leg extended.
Head Roll
Rotate your head to the right for one
count, feeling the stretch up the left side
of your neck. Next, rotate your head back
for one count, stretching your chin to the
ceiling and letting your mouth open.
Rotate your head to the left for one count,
and finally, drop your head to your chest
for one count.
Shoulder Lift
Lift your right shoulder up toward your ear
for one count. Then lift your left shoulder
up for one count as you lower your right
shoulder.
