Warm-up: What and How?
The Insanity workout reviewgives you more insights on what and how to start the Insanity workout session. Begins with a warm-up, for best results, with light, rhythmical exercises performed at a slow pace. Stretching and deep breathing both loosen the muscles and increase the body’s oxygen supply. Stretching also makes deeper breathing possible.
Most sets of warm-up exercises include about four or five very simple movements. The deep-breathing exercise requires that you rise on your toes, inhaling deeply at the same. First extend your arms straight out to the side. While breathing in and rising on your toes, raise your arms from shoulder level until your hands come together over your head. The arm rotation exercise calls again for extension of your arms straight out to the sides from your shoulder.
In the body rotation exercise, after placing your feet wide apart and bending forward at the waist, rotate your body from the belt up in slow circles. The upper should describe circles large enough to stretch all the affected muscles. In the bend and bounce, bend far over with your legs spread apart. Try to touch your fingers to the ground three times in front of your right foot, then three times in front in left.
The same warm-up series can include other exercise designed to get the feet in tune with the body. This final set of movements helps prevent the damage that can be inflicted on the feet by neglect or a premature start on the exercise program proper.
