Training Tips

Consult your Physician or Medical Care Provider before starting this, or any other exercise or training program!

Stretching Tips

Before and after any type of exercise, stretch the muscles that you’ll be using. Stretching prior to exercise helps to prevent injury. If you plan on swimming, stretch all muscle groups. If you plan on using your stationary bike, concentrate on your legs. Try leg extensions, side to side lunges or jogging in place. Stretching/cooling down after exercise returns oxygen to muscles and helps tone them. Hamstring and quad stretches, side stretches, and arm stretches all help you finish a successful training session, pain free and ready for the next time.
