Cool-Down

A cool-down is a gentle activity performed after intense exercise to help your body transition back to resting. It involves gradually reducing the intensity of your workout, such as walking slowly or stretching. This process helps prevent blood pooling in your muscles, reduces soreness, and promotes the removal of metabolic waste products like lactic acid. Cooling down also helps to stabilize your heart rate and breathing, lowering the risk of dizziness or fainting. Overall, it supports recovery, maintains flexibility, and prepares your body for future activity.
