Tag: warmup

Learn how to do an exercise before you try it. Watch someone demonstrate it, either in person or in a video. If possible, do the exercise with someone who can correct poor form.

Warm up before moderate or intense exercise. Start slowly. You should gradually start breathing harder and feel your heart rate increasing.

Cool down after moderate or intense exercise. Cool down slowly. Do the activity that you were doing (e.g., walking, biking), but more slowly.

Possible Cool Down

*  Brisk walking: Walk around slowly

*  Swimming: Walk in shallow end of pool

*  Cycling: Cycle slowly on flat surface or walk

*  Aerobics: Walk or stretch slowly
