Consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. To help ensure a safe, comfortable, and effective workout,
remember to:
1. Warm up: Proper warm up before you begin your workout helps to get your muscles ready for exercise and can help
prevent serious injury.
2. Control resistance: Always work with resistance that you can handle through a full range of motion. Know your limitations.
3. Breathe: Keep your breathing at a constant but steady pace. Avoid holding your breath as this may cause physical harm.
4. Keep your form and control: Learn and know how to perform the exercise correctly. Keep a steady/fluid motion throughout
your workout. Engaging your abdominal muscles will help keep balance and protect your spine.
Total Body Training (Figure 12) engages the upper and
lower body for cardiovascular and pulmonary endurance,
as well as for strength and power conditioning.
Lower Body Training (Figure 13) focuses on the lower
body muscle groups for a high-intensity cardiovascular
exercise.
