A flexibility or warmup program is an import a n t
aspect of all fitness or health routines. Ty p i c a l l y,
warmup routines comprise any number of
mobility
movements
which
are
intend
to condition the body to move more freely
during activity.
Before using your Abaway Pro it is wise to spend
some time warming up your body with
s t r e t ching movements to allow you to become
more flexible. Warm muscles will perform bett e r
and increase the positive results you will get
from using the Abaway Pro.
For best results, perform the following warm up
exercises before using your Abaway Pro.
TORSO TWISTS
While standing with a slightly
wider than shoulders' width foot stance, fix your
eyes on an object in front of you. Hold your torso
upright by lifting your chest then lift both arms,
bending them at the elbows. While keeping your
focal point, slowly pivot, or twist, at your
midsection as far as you can to the right then,
without any jerking motions, rotate in the
opposite direction past your starting point
twisting as far to the left as your flexibility will
a l l o w. Try to obtain a rhythmical cadence as you
twist from side to side. Per form as long as you
like, 30 seconds minimum.

Flexibility and Wa r m - U p

SIDE LEANS

While standing with a slightly
wider than shoulders' width foot stance, fix your
eyes on an object in front of you. Hold your torso
upright by lifting lifting your chest then lean to
your right side as far as your flexibility will
permit, while keeping both feet planted on the
floor for balance. Re a ch your farthest most
c o m f o rt able lean, without any jerking motions.
Then rotate to the opposite side leaning as far as
to your left as your flexibility will permit. Try to
obtain a rhythmical cadence as you lean from
side to side. Perform as long as you like, 30
seconds minimum.
F O R WARD LEAN
While standing with a
s h o u l d e rs' width foot stance, lift your chest so
your back is upright and your spine is erect.
Bend your torso at the waistline and allow
y o u rself to lean forward. Simply let your arms
hang or use them to grab onto a wall or a ch a i r
for balance if needed. Lean forward as far as you
feel comfortable and hold your deepest most
c o m f o rtable forward position, then return to the
upright position, making sure
you do not
bounce. Do this movement slowly as it may have
a tendency to make you a little dizzy due to the
lowering and lifting of your head. Pe r f o r m
between 3-10 forward leans.
