Cool Down Right

Cooling down seals your rehab win—BASES says 5-10 minutes light movement (slow walk, arm swings) steadies your heart post-exercise. It clears lactate, cuts dizziness, and eases BP—key for safety. Try 3 minutes strolling, 2 minutes stretches (hamstrings, chest)—Borg’s 9-11. Studies show it aids recovery 10%. Baechle backs this—gradual’s best. Skip it, and your ticker’s stressed—wind down, feel great!
