Stretching
Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or
aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because
of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretching develops
flexibility and reduces muscles soreness.
Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
DO NOT BOUNCE OR OVER-STRETCH. Take your time on each stretch. Gradually take
each stretch a little deeper on every out breath to your personal maximum.
Always remember to check with your physician before starting any exercise program.
COOL-DOWN
The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near normal, resting state
at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate, allows
blood to return to the heart and helps to prevent muscle soreness caused by the build-up of
lactic acid in the muscles.
