WARM-UP AND COOL-DOWN

Warm-UpThe purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place. Below are specific warm-up exercises for the trampoline workout.

Cool-DownThe purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal, or near-normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart. Your cool-down should include the previously mentioned stretches and the same warm- up exercises listed below.
