| This is the Warm-Up and Stretch routine. It is helpful to ride a
bike, walk, jump rope, etc. before doing the stretching exercises. Hold each
stretch for a minimum of 15 seconds before moving on to the next stretch. Continue
to breath as you stretch. Remember not to bounce as you stretch, and don't
forget to stretch both sides of your body! Try to perform the stretches below in the
order shown. A good general stretching program either before, during or after your exercise session
will help relieve soreness and guard against injuries.
