STRETCHING
Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after
your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more
easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces
the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE.
Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise
program.
COOL-DOWN
The 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.
