A successful exercise program
consists of a warm-up, aerobic
exercise, and a cool-down. Do the
entire program at least two and

for a day between workouts. After
several months, you can increase
your workouts to four or five times
per week.

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:
