WARM-UP
Warm-Up consists of 3 activities. And it is important that they are followed in the below order.
1. Raise Heart Rate - begin to warm-up the muscles that you will be working by increasing your heart
rate. This may include a brisk walk, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, or running in place.
2. Motor Skills - These activities once again incorporate the muscles groups you will be using, but the
focus is more on coordination and flexibility. This may include rolling the arms and legs in small to big
circles, squats with no weight, or twisting at the waist.
3. Stretching - Stretching should be done after you have raised your heart rate and have sufficiently gone
through motor activities. Muscles will be easier to stretch at this time because of their increased temper-
ature; this will reduce the risk of injury. Hold each stretch for approximately 15-30 seconds without
much movement. Make sure to stretch out all of the major muscles groups.
COOL-DOWN
Cool-down your body by following the below steps.
1. Slowly Lower Heart Rate - Return your body's heart rate to a resting state. Since muscles are still warm
begin to stretch out muscles. Stretching should take place after each training session.
