WARM UP & COOL DOWN!
To prevent injuries you should start with warm-up, cool-down and
stretching exercises before and after each workout.
No matter how you do sports, please do some stretch at first. The warm muscle will
extend easily. This reduces the risk of a spasm, or muscle injury, during exercise. To
warm up yourself we suggest the following stretch exercise as shown in the graphic:
Do not overstretch or pull your muscles.
IF IT HURTS, STOP IT!
