THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WARM-UP AND COOL-DOWN
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. Warm-up on your Elliptical Trainer at a slow pace.
COOL-DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period allows your heart
to readjust to the decreased demand. Use a low resistance setting
during the cool-down to gradually lower your heart rate. After the cool-
down, repeat the above stretching exercises to loosen and relax your
muscles.
SEATED TOE TOUCH
Sit on the floor with your legs
together and straight out in front of
you. Do not lock your knees.
Extend your fingers towards your
toes and hold for a count of 15.
Do not bounce. Sit upright again.
Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
