3. Cool Down Phase
This stage is to let your Cardio-vascular System and muscles wind down. This
is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your tempo, continue for
approximately 5 minutes. The stretching exercises should now be repeated,
again remembering not to force or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is advisable to
train at least three times a week, and if possible space your workouts evenly
throughout the week.
MUSCLE TONING
o tone muscle while on your SPINNING BIKE you will need to have the
resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles and
may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you are also trying
to improve your fitness you need to alter your training program. You should
train as normal during the warm up and cool down phases, but towards the
end of the exercise phase you should increase resistance, making your legs
work harden than normal. You may have to reduce your speed to keep your
heart rate in the target zone.
