A proper cool-down is just as important as the warm-up for recovery.Benefits of cooling down:
- Gradually lowers heart rate and blood pressure.
- Helps remove metabolic byproducts (e.g., lactate).
- Reduces muscle soreness and stiffness.
- Promotes mental relaxation.
A light jog, walk, or gentle stretching for 5-10 minutes is usually sufficient.
"End your workout strong, start your recovery even stronger."
