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 28 to loosen and relax your muscles.
