How do I cool-down?

Cool-downs are similar to warm-ups. At the finish of your walk, gradually slow down to a normal walk. You heart rate will start to return to its natural pump. Cool-down and warm-ups help you to avoid muscle cramps, rigidity and tenderness. Your muscles and joints will relax. In addition, cool-downs enforce blood flow.
This means that the lactic acids that build up during the day or workouts will disperse into the liver. As it disperses you, reduce your risks of rigidity, cramps and tenderness.
