How To Cool Down After Fitness Training

Okay, since we're all done with the workout now we just have to do a cool down to help the body to get into the best state so that it can replenish itself so you can come back to the gym again. So go ahead and find a mat, we're going to lay down. What I like to do as you lay down we're just going to pull one knee up into your chest and I want you to squeeze it and hold it and what I like for you to focus on is while you hold it just take in a real deep breath and then exhale out. Again real deep breath and exhale out. I'd like for you to repeat this for at least 10 deep breaths, the more the better. We like to hold stretches for about 30 seconds. Then the next stretch would be to hold onto the thigh and extend your foot straight up so that the heel is reaching up towards the ceiling. Once you're here, again we'll try to do the 10 breaths and then after you do the 10 breaths start to circle your toe around. It will really help to loosen up little nicks and nabs along your hamstrings and your calves. Be sure to circle both ways and then once you circle both ways we'll bring the knee back down and we're going to pull the knee over to the opposite side of the body using the hand, the same hand as your leg to stabilize yourself on the floor and then we'd like to slowly roll the pelvis over onto its side. Again once you're here focus on 10 breaths in, 10 breaths out, 10 breaths in, 10 breaths out and then slowly we'll pull it back and work down.
