Walk for several minutes.
Briefly walking as a cool‑down helps gradually lower heart rate and blood pressure, aids circulation to clear metabolic byproducts (e.g., lactic acid), and reduces dizziness or blood pooling. Stopping abruptly is not recommended; intense stretching immediately is not ideal (gentle stretches after the cool‑down are best); and while hydration is important, downing a large amount of water at once isn’t the primary cooling strategy.
