Before beginning exercise, it is important that you first perform a warm-up for the muscles of the body.
The warm-up can be any activity that gets you moving
such as light rolling, or aerobic activity such as upper body biking.
After you complete a minimum of 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise
and your strength training routine, you should perform a 3-5 minute cool-down,
including stretching to maintain range-of-motion and flexibility.
It is beneficial to exercise most days of the week. Start slowly if you are a beginner,
have not exercised in a long time, or if you have any special health concerns.
If any of the exercises you perform result in pain or discomfort,
stop immediately and let your physician know.
