How do you like to cool-down after exercise?

Do you view videos? Put on some light music to do your stretches?

Just like for the warm-up, I have some videos I like to cool-down to. I tend to do extra stretching at the end as I find it helps prevent my muscles from tightening up.

I do all the bad habits.  Basically no warm up and little cool down.  If I do a lot of cardio, like intensive running or sprints, I'll stretch afterwards.

I've been trying to figure out a good way to do a stretching routine, but it doesn't help with how some stuff happens in life.

What helps is to incorporate it & make it a priority by finding the time. Sometimes we feel we don't have the time but if you are at the computer or watching TV, you can incorporate light stretches right there. Proper posture is extremely beneficial as well as deep breathing.

Best of luck finding something that works for you 🙂

I usually exercise without a warm-up or without any stretches as well. I know I shouldn't and I can always remember when I was in school that we would always do the warm-up and stretches but it has never been something that I have continued to do into my adult life.

I've never been good at warm ups, as I blame my arthritis development in Jr. High and the couple times I was pulled out of school, as why I stopped doing stuff to help workouts go better.

I guess I should do something now, since I currently have a gym membership.

I learnt ice bathing from Cristiano Ronaldo. It's my best way of cooling down. He's a machine in human form. If I can meet up with his working out habits, I'm going to be a bad ass. He's my role model when it comes to working out. Dwayne Johnson is a beast, I can't do half of what he does in workouts.
