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.
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.
