| Part Two offers 5 mini workouts that target specific areas. These can be performed one at a time or all in one go – the user can pick and mix depending on her time, energy and fitness The workload can be increased gradually provided all sessions begin with the energizer warm-up. Once you have learnt the exercises, they will provide a good health insurance for years to come. The Energizer/Warm-Up Warms up and gently works out the whole body, offering a mini workout for the beginner, an energizer for the very busy and a thorough warm-up for those who are doing further exercise. A warm-up prepares the muscles, the joints, the heart and lungs for further exercise and helps to increase range of movement by good stretching. Thighs, Buttocks and Hips Selective toning and strengthening exercises that improve definition of the lower body as well as training the cardiovascular system. If an aerobically challenging workout is required add on without pause to the energizer. Upper Body and Back Light resistance exercises for a strong, beautifully defined upper body and back. The Abdominals This challenging workout will change one’s mind about the effects of childbearing. Not only will these exercises give a great shape, but fit abdominals support the back and aid good posture. Stretch and Relax A good stretch programme should refresh and relax. Stretching relieves muscle tension and increases the range of movement available – in practice this decreases the possibility of injury. Stretching will help to correct posture by realigning muscle length – for example, constantly rounded shoulders will result in shortened chest muscles, and weakened, over-stretched upper back muscles. Peaceful, calm music and slow deep breathing help relaxation during this section. |
