Workout Phases - Insportline Sarasota Light II User Manual

WORKOUT PHASES

Each successful exercise program should consist of three phases: warm-up phase, aerobic phase and
cool-down phase. It is recommended to do the entire workout program at least twice or three times a
week with one-day rest between trainings. After several months, you can increase your trainings to
four or five times a week.
WARNING: Consult your physician before starting any exercise. Do your workout reasonably and
never overstretch yourself. If you fell faintly or have some health complications, stop immediately.
WARM-UP PHASE
This phase should prepare your body for exercising and prevent your muscles from injury. Warm up
for two or five minutes before stretching or aerobic exercising. Performed activities should increase
your heart rate and warm your muscles. You can do: brisk walking, jogging, jumping or running in
place.
STRETCHING
Stretching is very important if your muscle have been properly warmed. You should repeat it after
aerobic training. Elevated muscle temperature allows you to stretch them easily with reduced injury
risk. Stretch for 15-30 seconds and don't bounce. Consult your physician before starting any workout
program.
