WARM UP &
COOL DOWN!
To prevent injuries you should start with
warm-up, cool-down & stretching exercises
before & after each workout.
No matter how much you do sports, please
do some stretches to begin. The warm
muscles will extend more easily. This
reduces the risk of a spasm or muscle injury
during exercise. To warm up we suggest the
following stretching exercises as shown.
Please do not overstretch or pull your
muscles: "IF IT HURTS, STOP IT!"
Side Bends:
Pass your arm over your head & bend your
upper body in the same direction. Hold
this position for 10 to 15 seconds & slowly
straighten yourself up. Repeat this 3 times
for each side.
Toe Touch:
Slowly bend forward from your waist,
letting your back & shoulders relax as you
stretch towards your toes. Reach down as
far as you can & hold for 15 counts. Relax
& repeat 3 times.
