Parts of Exercise Program

This document outlines the key parts of an exercise program including warm-up, cool-down, and four basic exercises. A warm-up prepares the body for exertion through gentle exercise to increase flexibility, blood flow, and range of motion while lowering injury risk. A cool-down allows the body to gradually return to a resting state through slower activity and helps normalize heart rate and breathing. The four basic exercises described are squats, lunges, trunk rotations, and push-ups which work major muscle groups.
