Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial

5.3 Designing a workout
We recommend two or three workouts per week. Warm up for about ve minutes
before starting each workout. Finish the workout with a cool-down and targeted
stretching.
Warm-up approx. 5 min. Dynamic movement of large muscle groups at a
low intensity. Core body temperature increases
and the metabolic process is speeded up.
