Warming Up
1. It is important to warm up before exercising to prepare
your body for the workout it is about to do. The first phase
of a warm up is to increase your heart rate and get blood
pumping around your body.
2. Undertake an activity for five to ten minutes that will warm up
the same muscles you are going to use during your exercise
program then undertake a phase of static stretching.
3. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds. Stretching should
not hurt, only stretch your muscles as far as is comfortable.
If you have a tight or previously injured muscle, then
concentrate on stretching the affected muscle group within
the warm up. Do not perform any sudden movements while
warming up.
Cooling Down
1. Following your workout you should carry out a cool down. The
cool down should gradually bring your heart rate back to a
resting level.
2. To do a cool down perform an activity of your choice at a low
intensity. This should be followed by static stretches similar to
those in the warm up.
