Warm-up and Cool Down

Each workout effort should be preceded by a warm-up and conclude with a cool-down. The following effects are created by warm-up and cool-down.

Warm-up:

• Increases body temperature
• Increases respiration rate and heart rate
• Increases flexibility and reduces chance of muscular injury

Cool-down:

• Speeds removal of metabolic wastes
• Help prevent cramps, tightness and soreness
