WARM UP AND COOL DOWN ROUTINE

A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool down. Do the entire program at least
two to 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.
AEROBIC EXERCISE is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic
exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large
muscles eg: legs, arms and buttocks.
The WARM-UP is an important part of any workout. It should begin every session to prepare your body for more
strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and
delivering more oxygen to your muscles.
COOL DOWN at the end of your workout, repeat these exercises to reduce soreness in tired muscles.
