Cool Down Exercise

Cool down exercise involves transitioning from intense physical activity to a more typical activity level. It allows the heart rate to return to its resting rate depending on the intensity of the workout. Examples of cool down stretches include chair stretches for the hamstrings and hips, doorway stretches for the chest, neck stretches, overhead arm stretches for the triceps, and side-lying stretches for the quadriceps. Cooling down is important for regulating heart rate, reducing lactic acid buildup, preventing injuries, allowing the body to restore itself, and providing stress relief and relaxation.
