Workout Tips and Recommendations

Warm-up and Cool-down

A successful exercise program consists of three parts: warm-up, cardio workout and cool-down.

Warm-up is a very important part of a workout. It must be done before every workout. Warm-up helps to warm up the body, stretch the muscles and allow the body to adapt to more intense exercise.

Repeating the warm-up at the end of the exercise can help relieve muscle soreness.

We suggest doing the appropriate warm-up and cool-down exercises according to the following scheme:

Head rolls

First tilt your head toward your right shoulder, stretch your neck and rotate your head once clockwise and once counterclockwise; then tilt your head toward your left shoulder and make one counterclockwise rotation. Repeat.

Shoulder lifts

Raise your left shoulder and make 5 backward rotations; then raise your right shoulder and make 5 backward rotations, alternating sides.

Side stretch

Raise your arms above your head, then grasp your right wrist with your left hand and reach upward until you feel your right arm fully stretched. Hold for 5 seconds before switching to the other arm.

Quadriceps stretch

Holding onto a wall with your right hand for balance, pull your left foot back with your left hand, bringing the heel as close to your buttock as possible. Hold for 15 seconds, then repeat with the other leg.

Inner thigh stretch

Sitting on the floor, put the soles of your feet together, clasp them with both hands and pull them in as close to your body as possible. Slowly press down on both heels and hold this position for 15 seconds.

Toe touch

Slowly bend forward, relax your back and shoulders, and reach for your toes. Bend as low as possible and hold the position for up to 15 seconds.

Hamstring stretch

Sit down, straighten your right leg, bend your left, take your left ankle with your left hand and push it inward so that your left foot is as close to your torso as possible and the sole of the foot is against the inner side of your right thigh. Then press down on the body, stretch your left and right arms forward to touch your toe; the stronger the pressure, the better. Hold this position for 15 seconds and switch to the left leg.

Calf stretch

Leaning on the wall with both hands, tilt your torso at an angle of 45 degrees to the floor and take your left and right legs back in turn, performing walking movements.
