DEVELOPING A FITNESS PROGRAM Warm Up: Warming up is an extremely important phase, but unfortunately, it's often an activity that is ignored and painful, frustrating muscle pulls or strains may be the result. There are two goals for warm - up: warming up the muscles of the back and the extremities ( so that you can stretch them without injury), and slight acceleration of the heart rate so the body can move gradually into the target heart rate.
