Warm Up Exercises

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING

cially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.

Warming up prepares the body for the exercise by increasing circulation, supplying more oxygen to the mus­cles and raising body temperature. Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise
to warm up. The photos on this page show several forms of basic stretching you may perform before your
workouts. In order to achieve an adequate warm-up, perform each stretch three times.

TOE TOUCH STRETCH

Stand bending your knees slightly and slowly bend forward
from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as
you reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for
15 counts, then relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, back
of knees , and back.

HAMSTRING STRETCH
Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. This will stretch your hamstrings, lower
back, and groin.

CALF/ACHILLES STRETCH

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place
your hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean for­ward and move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts,
then relax. To cause further stretching of the Achilles tendons,
bend your back leg as well. This will stretch your calves,
Achilles tendons, and ankles.

QUADRICEPS STRETCH

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and
grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
This will stretch your quadriceps and hip muscles.

INNER THIGH STRETCH

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees out­ward. Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible.
Hold for 15 counts, then relax. This will stretch your quadri­ceps and hip muscles.
