A good exercise program is a key to promote and maintain your good health. It is a
way to make sure that you get the most out of your workouts and that you are
targeting all your muscle groups. Many people exercise but they do not get the full
benefits of their exercises. By planning out an exercise program, you can make sure
that you are not wasting your time.
An exercise program that is tailored specifically to your needs is a great way to stay
physically and mentally fit. It also provides additional benefits such as: improved
condition of the heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor
fitness, increased aerobic fitness, improved muscle tone and strength, weight
management, better coordination, agility and flexibility, improved balance and spatial
awareness, increased energy levels, improved immunity, increased physical
confidence, reduced risk of chronic disease (such as type 2 diabetes and heart
disease), improved sleep, improved brain function and health, improved general and
psychological well-being, greater self-confidence and self-esteem, and improved
social life.

efficiently. Without warming up, you may have greater risk of physical injuries as
you proceed immediately with vigorous activities.
Flexibility Exercises
This phase of exercise follows immediately after warm-up. It is done by doing
gradual stretching activities from upper to lower extremities. There are different types
of stretching to improve flexibility: static, and dynamic stretching.
Static stretching is more appropriate in the cool down as they help muscles to
relax, realign muscles fibers and re-establish their normal range of movement.
Dynamic stretching exercises specifically prepare the muscles for active
contraction. However, they do not cause long-term improvement in flexibility
because of the short stretching time.
