Why the COOL DOWN is so important after the workout. (Throwback Thursday)

Today’s throwback takes us back to Episode 10, where we broke down one of the most underrated, underutilized, and underappreciated parts of any fitness routine — the cool down.

Most people finish their last rep, check the box, and sprint out the door... but what if I told you that the last five minutes of your workout might be just as important as the first five?

In this episode, we explore:

• Why your nervous system needs a cool down to shift from stress to recovery mode
  
  
  
• How skipping it can lead to chronic pain, poor sleep, and stalled progress
  
  
  
• And the science-backed benefits of cooling down deliberately — from heart rate regulation to reducing soreness to increasing flexibility and longevity
  
  
  

And don’t worry — this isn’t just theory. You’ll walk away with real strategies you can use immediately after your next workout.

So if you’re someone who’s been guilty of ghosting your post-workout routine, this is your chance to course-correct and learn how to treat your body like the high-performance machine it is.

Let’s hit rewind and dive into “Why the COOL DOWN is so important after the workout.”
Stick around — your future self will thank you.
