Sometimes after workout, our body will just be strong like a person that carries cement bag. You can even ask yourself, “Why my body is still this heavy after all this training?” That kind of moment cool‑down exercise do save a person. For the video which I upload, I show step by step how I do cool down my body after my main workout.


What Is Cool Down Exercise?

Cool down exercise is a simple movement which you will have to do after your main workout to help your body to relax. It's not hard at all. It's a gentle stretching, slow breathing, and calm movement which will help your muscles to return back to normal.

In this video, you will see as I bend, stretch my legs, rotate my arms, and breathe in and out gently. I do it slowly so that my body can calm down well.


Why Cool Down Is Important?

Cool down is not a waste of time. It has a lot of benefits:

  • It reduce muscle pain: When you cool down very well, your muscles won't be stiff the next day.

  • Surely help your heart rate to come down gradually: Instead of your heart just to jump from high to low, cool down will bring it down gently.

  • It also improve flexibility: Those small stretches can make your body soft and free.

  • Help your mind to relax: As you are breathing slowly, your mind will be calm too.


My Experience Doing It

As I did the cool down on this video, I feel like my body is just relaxing like breeze is blowing. All the tension from the main workout begin to melt. It's that moment I realize that cool down is not optional, it's much important than what many people thinks.
