Using a cool-down routine after exercising is highly recommended. During exercise the body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate all increase. To bring them back to normal levels, a cooling down routine is helpful.
Cooling down helps the body transition gradually, rather than abruptly. This helps the recovery process and can help prevent injuries.
For high-intensity work-outs, stretching can be used during cooling down to help improve flexibility by increasing the range of motion of your boxy. But equally important is hydrating after a workout.
We have prepared an easy cool-down routine for low-effort exercises, and an intermediate cool-down routine for when your exercise was more intense. Both videos are short 5-minute routines.
Take you time to cool down, your body will thank you later!
