Total Trainer Pilates - Total Trainer Exercises - Warm-up and Cool Down

Your body is like a car, it works best when it is
warm, that way the blood is easily pumped
through the heart, lungs, and muscles.
The best way to Warm-up is to do gentle
exercise that uses the most body muscles
possible.
A Good Warm-up permits peak performance
and helps prevent injuries.
Every workout should begin and end with
3 ~ 5 minute s
of low intensity aerobic activity.
Exercises A1 and A2 are great Warm-up or
Cool Down exercises or can be used for low to
high aerobic activity.
You can include either one or both these
exercises in your TOTAL TRAINER Exercise
Program to increase aerobic conditioning for a
circuit training effect.
