WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT
One of the most important parts of your workout is to prepare your body for exercise on the BODY
PLANK.
WARMING UP the muscles substantially decreases the chances of injury and only takes a few
moments to do. BODY PLANK can also be used for warming up and cooling down exercise.
COOLING DOWN helps removes the lactic acid build-up in the muscles by oxygenating the muscles
after your exercise routine. Lactic acid is what makes you ache after a workout, cooling down should
be undertaken soon after the last set of exercises you intend to complete.
Warming up and cooling down exercises are identical and easy to remember. Both warming up and
cooling down should be done slowly and accurately, there is no hurry to complete these exercises, it is
more important to complete them. In addition, it is good practise to move around after the cool down
exercises to further dissipate the lactic acid.
WARMING UP.
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object.
Use one hand to assist your balance. Bend the
opposite knee and lift your heel towards your
buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your
foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner
thighs close together, slowly pull your foot towards
your buttocks until you feel a gentle stretch in
the front of your thigh. You do not have to touch
your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when
you feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing
straight down and keep your knees close together.
(Do not let the lifted knee swing outward.) Hold the
stretch for 20 to 30 seconds.
Repeat the exercise for the other leg.
Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the
soles of your feet are together. Place your hands
on your ankles. Lean forward from the waist and
press down lightly on the inside of your knees.
You should feel a stretch in the muscles of your
inner thighs.
QUADRICEPS STRETCH
INNER THIGH STRETCH
Stand approximately one arm’s length away from a
wall or chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping
your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to
the chair while extending the other leg behind you.
Bending the leg closest to the chair and keeping
the other leg straight, place your hands on the
chair. Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground
and move your hips forward. Slowly lean forward
from the ankle, keeping your back leg straight until
you feel a stretch in your calf muscles. Hold for 20
to 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise for the opposite
leg.
CALF AND ACHILLES STRETCH
TOP TIP:
Use a chair or a wall to help keep
your balance only if you need to.
WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT

10 11
Lay flat on your back with your hips relaxed against
the floor. Bend one leg at the knee. Keeping both
shoulders flat on the floor, gently grasp the bent
knee with your hands and pull it over your body
and towards the ground. You should feel a stretch
in your hips, abdominal and lower back. Hold for 20
to 30 seconds and release. Repeat the exercise for
the opposite side.
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your
knees slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend
your elbow, reaching down behind your head with
your hand toward the opposite shoulder blade.
Walk your fingertips down your back as far as you
can. Hold this position. Reach up with your opposite
hand and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the
stretch by pulling on the elbow. Hold for 20 to 30
seconds.
Repeat the exercise for the opposite arm.
BUTTOCKS, HIPS AND ABDOMINAL STRETCH OVERHEAD / TRICEPS STRETCH
Stand with your legs hip width apart. Extend
one leg out in front of you and keep that foot
flat against the ground. With your hands resting
lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg and
lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel
a stretch in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean
forward from the hip joint rather than bending at
your waist. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the
exercise for the opposite leg.
STANDING HAMSTRINGS STRETCH
TOP TIP: As you progress, you can create
your own warm up and cool down exercise
routine, you do not need to keep strictly to
the above routine so long as you utilise all the
basic muscle types included above.
TOP TIP:
DONT FORGET YOUR
COOLING DOWN
ROUTINE
Warming up and cooling down should take around ten minutes each. It is sensible to adjust this
timing according to your own situation. You would benefit from a longer warm-up session if you
exercise soon after waking up than you would after a walk to the shops and back for example.
TAKE YOUR TIME WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN,
ENJOY THE STRETCHES AS THEY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

Instructions for Use
Adjust the BODY PLANK machine height by removing the locking pin in the support frame and sliding
the stabilising feet either up or down. Then add the locking pin to secure into position.
The higher the support frame the more challenging the exercise.
Adjust the angle of the BODY PLANK by removing the long locking pin from the main frame.
With one hand on the support frame and the other on the main frame, adjust the angle before
securing with the locking pin. The steeper the angle, the more challenging the exercise.
This is a more complete abdominal exercise that concentrates on two muscle groups at once.
Following a similar 3 step routine as the Ab Exercise start by removing the locking pin in the knee rest,
this will allow you to 1. twist your hips before beginning. 2. Still with hips twisted bring your knees up to
your chest, then 3. control the movement back down.
Make sure to repeat the twists for both the left and right sides of your body.
Please be advised that everyone’s physical fitness is different.
Please remember to work out within your means. Stop immediately if you start to feel faint, dizzy or sick.
Make sure you take on plenty of fluids before, during and after working out.
Once you are happy with the position of the BODY PLANK machine, 1. hold the handle bars firmly and gently
rest your knees between the foam pads. 2. Whilst holding the handle bars, resting your forearms on the
handle bars, bring your knees up to your chest, then 3. control the movement back down and repeat.
It is recommended for all the exercises shown here to start off doing 3 sets of 10 repetitions on
the easiest setting and building up the workout gradually.
To disembark from the machine make sure the knee pads are at its lowest point, whilst keeping
hold of the handle bars, gently lift off the knee pads and stand up.
Ab Exercise: This will engage your abdominal muscles
Ob/Ab Exercise : This will engage your oblique muscles as well as your abdominal muscles.
Do not lean back on the machine or let go off the handle bars until off the machine.
