Exercise Instructions:
The manual provides a comprehensive exercise program, including warm-up, cool-down, and stretching exercises.
- Warm-up Phase: This phase helps blood flow and muscle activation. It recommends 15-20 minutes of moderate intensity.

- Down Stretch: Bending knees slightly, body slowly, letting back and shoulders relax, and touching toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds, repeat 3 times.
- Hamstring Stretch: Sitting on a clean cushion, bending the right foot, placing the left foot against the inner thigh of the right foot. Touching toes. Hold for 10-15 seconds, repeat 3 times.
- Calf and Foot Stretch: Standing and placing both hands on a wall or tree, one foot behind. Keeping the back foot stand and its heel on the floor, then tilting to the wall or tree. Hold for 10-15 seconds, repeat 3 times.
- Quadriceps Stretch: Placing left hand against a wall or desk to aid balance. Grasping the ankle with the right hand and pulling the foot toward the buttocks. Hold for 10-15 seconds, repeat 3 times.
