At Golden Gloves Fitness, we have procedures and policies that we carry out to make sure everyone’s workout feels complete. When you first walk in that door, we have you begin with a warm up by stretching and doing abdominal work and only then we have you training or proceeding to your more intense workout. As a rule, you cannot start putting a lot of pressure onto your muscles without breaking that first sweat because it works as a lubricant for your muscles and bones and as a signal for your body to get ready for some serious intense training. Once you are done with your training, you cannot terminate your exercising just yet. Not so fast! You must have a cool-down period before exiting that door. But, what is a cool-down period? And when should it happen? A cool down period are light exercises that do not include weights and are meant to calm you down, great cool-down practices are the following:
• Skipping rope or a light jog (no more than 15 mins or 2 laps)
• Abdominal work such as press or stomach squeezing
• Stretching, including squats
• Medicine ball exercises (make sure you take it lightly)
And other exercises that you deem acceptable as light, including light bags. If you are not sure which exercises are classified as cool-down, please feel free to ask our coach Alex or come by and workout
