Before you start today’s exercise(s) do 10 minutes or burn 100 calories on a cardio machine. Use this as a warm up to get you blood flowing, heart rate up and heat up your muscles. (Stairs, Stationary bicycle, Elliptical, Recumbent Bicycle, Treadmill)
After you complete today’s workout, do a different form of cardio to cool your body down, for 10 minutes or burning of 100 calories. (So, if your warm up was treadmill, do the stairs as a cool down, etc. Be sure to switch it up daily, so as not to create a habit with these.)
