The TOTAL TRAINER Stretches shown here
are the second step in your TOTAL TRAINER
Exercise Program.
Experts agree that stretching is beneficial prior
to any strenuous activity.
Always do the stretches slowly and hold for the
recommended amount of time. Do NOT
Bounce.
When performing these stretches, make sure
to go by the feel of the stretch - this is far more
important than how far you stretch.
WARNING: If you experience any discomfort
while doing these stretches, discontinue them
immediately.
