COOL DOWN

EXERCISE
Cool Down Exercise

- is the transition from intense physical activity to a more

typical activity level.

- It is depending on the intensity of the exercise, cooling

down after a workout method, such as intense weightlifting,
can involve a slow jog or walk.

- Cooling down allows the heart rate to return to its resting

rate.

 5 Reasons
Why You Need to
Cool Down
after a Workout
• Regulating your heart rate.

• Reducing the build-up of lactic acid.

• Preventing injuries Like warming up, cooling down after

exercises help prevent injuries such as muscle tears.

• Body restoration.

• Stress relief and relaxation.

Why it's important to cool down
after exercise?

- cooling down after exercise is just as

important as warming up, helping the blood to
keep flowing through the body and preventing
unpleasant side effects, such as light headedness,
that can come about when a sudden stop in
exercise causes our blood pressure to drop.
