Not too long ago, we were looking into why warming up is important<\/a>. But what about their counterpart, cool-downs? Why do we do them?
<\/strong><\/p>

Most cool downs last 3\u201310 minutes and include slower, gentle movements and stretching exercises. In the app, most are without equipment, but some include a foam roller. <\/span><\/p>

Today, we\u2019ll look into the reasons in general for cool-downs. Stretching and foam rolling are fascinating, and therefore, we will look into them in their own posts soon. <\/span><\/p>

Ready? Let\u2019s 321go!

Slowing down your heart rate and breath<\/dt>\n \t
When you have just done an exhausting cardio workout and your heart is racing, you want to get back to a normal heart rate slowly over the course of a few minutes. This way, you will help your body to avoid lightheadedness or a feeling of faintness. <\/dd>\n \t
Relaxation<\/dt>\n \t
A cool-down gives you the opportunity to reflect on your accomplishments during your training and to give yourself a pat on the back for the hard work you did in your workouts. This will give your confidence a boost and motivate you for your next session. The relaxation and the feeling of doing yourself something good are a great start to the recovery phase after training. <\/dd>\n \t
Reduce Lactic Acid Build-up<\/dt>\n \t
During high-intensity exercises, you accumulate lactic acid in your body. A short recovery-cool-down can help \u201cflush out\u201d the lactic acid slowly. Active recovery helps delay muscle fatigue and therefore supports better and more efficient training. <\/dd>\n \t
Prevent Injuries<\/dt>\n \t
Just like warm-ups, cool-downs are great to prevent injuries like muscle tears and strains. Stretching your still warm muscles elongates your muscle fibres as they have been under strain during the workout.<\/dd>\n \t\n<\/dl>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
