THE IMPORTANCE OF WARM UP AND COOL DOWN
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up.
The warm-up will limber your muscles and prepare them for more
strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your Horizon
Fitness product at a slow pace.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart
to readjust to the decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down
period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart rate to lower.
After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises on page 21 to
loosen and relax your muscles.
