Cool Down We perform a cool down after the session to healthily return our body back to its resting state. Should take about 10 mins + 1. Gentle walking/moving for 1-2 minutes to lower the heart rate and recover your breathing. 2. Static stretching/foam rolling. Focusing on the muscles that have been worked during the session. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds to a minute. Hamstring Stretch Quad Stretch Inner Thigh Stretch Gluteal Stretch Extend one leg out in front of you to stretch the muscles, bending your other knee to compensate. Rest your hands on the thigh of your bent leg and keep both feet firmly on the ground. Repeat on the other side Use your right hand to grab your right foot and bring it up behind you. Stand up tall to increase the stretch. Bring your foot down slowly and repeat on the other side. Sit on the floor and bring the soles of your feet together. Gently press down on the inner thighs until you feel the stretch take effect. Sit on the floor with both legs out straight in front of you. Bring your right foot into the body and place it over your left thigh. Increase the stretch by placing your left arm on the outside of your right thigh. Return to the start and repeat with the opposite leg. Shoulder Stretch Side Stretch Calf Stretch Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and shoulders back.
