Warm Up - Exerpeutic 1301 Owner's Manual

WARM UP

The WARM-UP is an important part of any workout. You should begin every session by
stretching your muscles to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise. This will help
increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and deliver more oxygen to your muscles.
HEAD ROLLS
Rotate your head to the right for one count, you should feel a
stretching sensation up the left side of your neck. Then rotate your
head back for one count, stretching your chin to the ceiling and
letting your mouth open. Rotate your head to the left for one count,
then drop your head to your chest for one count.
SIDE STRETCHES
Open your arms to the side and lift them until they are over your head.
Reach your right arm as far toward the ceiling as you can for one
count. Repeat this action with your left arm.
SHOULDER LIFTS
Lift your right shoulder toward your ear for one count. Then lift your
left shoulder up for one count as you lower your right shoulder.
QUADRICEPS STRETCH
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach behind you and pull
your right foot up. Bring your heel as close to your buttocks as
possible. Hold for 15 counts and repeat with left foot.
