  • Demonstrate warm-up and cool-down exercises.

Warm-Up

Warm-Up

A good warm-up before a workout dilates your blood vessels, ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen. It also raises your muscles’ temperature for optimal flexibility and efficiency. By slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps minimize stress on your heart.
4

What is a Warm-Up?

Why Should I Warm-Up?

Before you exercise, think about warming up your muscles like you would warm up your car. It increases the temperature and flexibility of your muscles, and helps you be more efficient and safer during your workout.  A warm-up before moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity allows a gradual increase in heart rate and breathing at the start of the activity.

How to Warm-Up

How Do I Warm-Up?

  • Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes. The more intense the activity, the longer the warm-up. 
  • Do whatever activity you plan on doing (running, walking, cycling, etc.) at a slower pace (jog, walk slowly). 
  • Use your entire body. For many people, walking on a treadmill and doing some modified bent-knee push-ups will suffice.

Cool Down

Cool-Down

Cooling down after a workout is as important as warming up. After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels are dilated. This means if you stop too fast, you could pass out or feel sick. A cool-down after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
8

What is a Cool-Down?

Why Should I Cool-Down?

It’s good to stretch when you’re cooling down because your limbs, muscles and joints are still warm. Stretching can help reduce the buildup of lactic acid, which can lead to muscles cramping and stiffness.
9

How to Cool-Down

How Do I Cool-Down?

  • Walk for about 5 minutes, or until your heart rate gets below 120 beats per minute.
  • Stretching:
    • Hold each stretch 10 to 30 seconds. If you feel you need more, stretch the other side and return for another set of stretching.
    • The stretch should be strong, but not painful.
    • Do not bounce or do ballistic stretching.
    • Only stretch muscles that have been warmed-up.
    • Breathe while you’re stretching. Exhale as you stretch, inhale while holding the stretch.
