Workout
Guide
Working
Out
A workout
begins
in your
mind's
eye. With
concentration
and visualization
you can approach
your
workout
with a positive,
constructive
attiulde.
A good
pre-workout
mental
routine
is to sit and
relax,
so that you can focus
on what you are about
to do and think
about
achiexdng
your
end goal.
Warming
Up
We recommend
that you warm
up by doing
light
stretching
and performing
light exercises
on the Bowflex
Xceed
TM
home
gym.
Your Routine
The workout
portion
of your
fitness
routine
is the
series
of exercises
devoted
to your
particular
goals.
Remember;
make
sure to have t!!!
Cool Down
An essential
part of the exercise
routine
is the
cool down.
Gradually
reduce
the level of exercise
intensity
so that blood
does
not accumulate
in
one muscle
group,
but continues
to circulate
at
a decreasing
rate. Remember
to gradually
move
yourself
into a relaxed
state.
Breathing
The most
important
part of breathing
during
exercise
is, quite
simply,
that you do it. Breathing
in or out during
the actual
performance
is not
dependent
upon
the direction
of air flow relative
to exertion.
It is, in fact, a mechanical
process
that
changes
the position
of your
spine
as your
rib cage
moves.
Here
are some
tips for breathing:
1) Be cmltious
when
you are concentrating
or
exerting
eflbrt.
This
is when
you will probably
hokt your
breath.
DO NOT
hold
your
breath.
Do not
exaggerate
breathing.
Depth
of
inhalation
and
exhalation
should
be natural
for the situation.
2) Allow
breathing
to occur,
naturally,
don't
force
it.
