DO NOT drive directly up to an individual assuming... the brakes will work.

Warm-up Exercises In our effort to maintain a safe and productive work environment, it is Wal~Marts intention that all Associates are mentally alert and physically prepared to perform their job functions safely. Doing these exercises may help prevent muscle injuries. Never bounce during a stretch. Always stretch before starting the day.
