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 Vision Fitness
Product 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.
SEATED TOE TOUCH
Sit on the floor with your legs
together and straight out in front
of you. Do not lock your knees.
Extend your fingers towards your
toes and hold for a count of 15.
Do not bounce. Sit upright again.
Repeat for a total of 8 repetitions.
