Warming up is an important part of your workout and should not be taken lightly. Warming up prepares the body for more strenuous exercise by increasing the circulation, delivering more oxygen to the muscles, and raising the body temperature. This can be done by stretching and light calisthenics for 5-10 minutes prior to exercising. Begin exercising at a light pace for a few minutes. Then increase the intensity to raise your heart rate to your Training Zone for a period of 20-30 minutes. Cooling down after vigorous exercise is important in aiding circulation and preventing soreness. 5-10 minutes of light exercise or stretching will allow the body to cool down. EXERCISE FREQUENCY To maintain or improve your condition you must work out 2-3 times per week following the pattern described above. A day of rest between workouts is recommended. After several months of exercise the number of workouts can be increased to 4-5 times per week. The key to a successful program is REGULAR EXERCISE. 13
