Warming up and stretching your

leg muscles

• Stand up straight with your right leg bent
upwards. Hold your leg with your right hand
for a while. To make this exercise easier, you
can hold onto something with your other hand,
e.g. a wall or a table. Repeat with your other
leg.
• Stand with your legs apart and bend one of
your knees slightly. Hold this position for a
while before changing legs. This exercise helps
stretch the inside of your legs.
• Warm up your ankles by taking one foot off
the floor and slowly making circular move-
ments to the left and then to the right. After a
while, change feet.

locks and take out the resistance bands and the
handles. Then close the board again and place
it on the mat.
• Carefully position yourself on the fitness board
and slowly begin rocking from one side to the
other. Make sure your movements are calm
and consistent. Initially, use your arms to keep
your balance.
• After you have a feel for the movement, you
can also move your arms as you would when
you are slowly jogging. Gradually increase
the speed to a slow run.
• When you feel confident enough, swing your
arms above your head, to exercise your entire
body.
• Try out various movements and positions with
your arms.
