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.
