CALF AND ACHILLES STRETCH Product logo HALF LOGO WIDTH (A) 25% Cyan 0% Magenta 60% Yellow 0% Black 45% Cyan 0% Magenta 100%Yellow 0% Black (A) (A) 75% Cyan 0% Magenta 100%Yellow 0% Black 35% Black Warming up the muscles substantially decreases the chances of injury and only takes a few moments to do. Cooling down helps removes the lactic acid build-up in the muscles by oxygenating the muscles after your exercise routine. Lactic acid is what makes you ache after a workout, cooling down should be undertaken soon after the last set of exercises you intend to complete. Warming up and cooling down exercises are identical and easy to remember. Both warming up and cooling down should be done slowly and accurately, there is no hurry to complete these exercises, it is more important to complete them. In addition, it is good practise to move around after the cool down exercises to further dissipate the lactic acid. QUADRICEPS STRETCH Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand to assist your balance. Bend the opposite knee and lift your heel towards your buttocks. Reach back and grasp the top of your foot with the same side hand. Keeping your inner thighs close together, slowly pull your foot towards your buttocks until you feel a gentle stretch in the front of your thigh. You do not have to touch your buttocks with your heel. Stop pulling when you feel the stretch. Keep your kneecap pointing straight down and keep your knees close together. (Do not let the lifted knee swing outward.) Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise for the other leg. TOP TIP: Use a chair or a wall to help keep your balance only if you need to. 10 Stand approximately one arm’s length away from a wall or chair with your feet hip-width apart. Keeping your toes pointed forward, move one leg in close to the chair while extending the other leg behind you. Bending the leg closest to the chair and keeping the other leg straight, place your hands on the chair. Keep the heel of the back leg on the ground and move your hips forward. Slowly lean forward from the ankle, keeping your back leg straight until you feel a stretch in your calf muscles. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise for the opposite leg. INNER THIGH STRETCH Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the soles of your feet are together. Place your hands on your ankles. Lean forward from the waist and press down lightly on the inside of your knees. You should feel a stretch in the muscles of your inner thighs. 11 WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT WARMING UP AND COOLING DOWN – IMPORTANT BUTTOCKS, HIPS AND ABDOMINAL STRETCH OVERHEAD/TRICEPS STRETCH Lay flat on your back with your hips relaxed against the floor. Bend one leg at the knee. Keeping both shoulders flat on the floor, gently grasp the bent knee with your hands and pull it over your body and towards the ground. You should feel a stretch in your hips, abdominal and lower back. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat the exercise for the opposite side. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Lift one arm overhead and bend your elbow, reaching down behind your head with your hand toward the opposite shoulder blade. Walk your fingertips down your back as far as you can. Hold this position. Reach up with your opposite hand and grasp your flexed elbow. Gently assist the stretch by pulling on the elbow. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.

Extend one leg out in front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground. With your hands resting lightly on your thighs, bend your back leg and lean forward slightly from your hips until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh. Be sure to lean forward from the hip joint rather than bending at your waist. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise for the opposite leg. 12 Warming up and cooling down should take around ten minutes each. It is sensible to adjust this timing according to your own situation. You would benefit from a longer warm-up session if you exercise soon after waking up than you would after a walk to the shops and back for example. Take your time warming up and cooling down, enjoy the stretches as they will make you feel better. Top Tip: As you progress, you can create your own warm up and cool down exercise routine, you do not need to keep strictly to the above routine so long as you utilise all the basic muscle types included above. 13 AEROBOUND EXERCISES Product logo HALF LOGO WIDTH (A) (A) (A) BASIC BOUNCE Place feet at hip width apart and bounce 25% Cyan 0% Magenta 60% Yellow 0% Black 45% Cyan 0% Magenta 100%Yellow 0% Black 75% Cyan 0% Magenta 100%Yellow 0% Black 35% Black WIDE BOUNCE Place feet towards the edge of the AeroBound and bounce SWITCHING BOUNCE Standing side on, on the AeroBound place one foot in front of the other, as you bounce switch your feet round so when you land the opposite foot is now the lead foot.
