Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30
minutes of exercise with your heart rate in your
training zone.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Thorough stretching helps to prevent problems caused
when you stop exercising suddenly. Stretching for
increased flexibility is also most effective after exerci-
sing. A proper cool-down should leave you feeling
relaxed and comfortably tired.
