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.
