## Common questions

### How do I make a WarmUp of my own?

Open Your WarmUps and create a new WarmUp. Give it a name and, if you like, a description, then add the exercises you want and save it. You can edit or delete it later from the same list. On iPhone and iPad a WarmUp holds up to five exercises.

### Can I keep a WarmUp of the Week?

On iPhone and iPad, yes. When a new WarmUp of the Week arrives, the app offers to save a copy of the current one before replacing it. Give the copy a name and it stays in Your WarmUps after the week moves on.

### How do I know there is a new WarmUp of the Week?

The app tells you when you open it, with a message that a new weekly WarmUp is available. Tap Show me to go straight to it, or Later to carry on with what you were doing.

### When should I warm up?

Every day, to keep your voice healthy and strong, and before the moments that matter, such as a presentation, a rehearsal or a long day of talking. A one-minute exercise also fits between calls or classes, to keep your voice clear through the day.

### What if my voice is already tired or hoarse?

A warmup prepares a voice. It does not fix one that is already in trouble. Hoarseness lasting more than about three weeks, pain when you speak, or a voice that keeps giving out are reasons to see a doctor or a speech and language therapist rather than to practise harder.
