How to cool down

Cooling down is similar to warming up. You generally keep doing your workout session for five minutes or so. But you go at a slower pace and lower intensity.

Try these ideas for cool-down activities:

• To cool down after a brisk walk, walk slowly for 5 to 10 minutes.
• To cool down after a run, walk briskly for 5 to 10 minutes.
• To cool down after swimming, swim laps slowly for 5 to 10 minutes.
