After a few months, the intensity of the training can be increased, for example to four or five times a week.

The warm-up

The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare the body for training and to reduce the risk of injury. Warm up your body for two to five minutes before starting a cardio or strength training session. Do exercises that increase the heart rate and warm up the working muscles. Examples of

ENGLISH

virtufit

this type of activity are running, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping and running in place.

Stretching

Stretching while the muscles are warm is very important after a good warm-up and cool-down. It reduces the risk of injury. Stretching exercises should be held for 15-30 seconds. Here are some examples of stretching exercises:

• Toe touch (Fig. B-1)
  • Inner thight stretch (Fig. B-2)
• Hamstring stretch (Fig. B-3)
  • Achilles stretch (Fig. B-4)
• Side stretch (Fig. B-5)

Cooling down

The purpose of the cool-down is to return the body to its (near) normal resting position at the end of the workout. A good cool-down slowly reduces your heart rate and promotes recovery.
