Ways To Cool Down Your Body Useful Exercises
down to bring your heart rate, breathing, and temperature
nearer normal (failure to do so can lead to dizziness,
cramps, and soreness next day).
Slowing Heart Rate: Bring body temperature back to normal by
walking around the room for 5 minutes, gradually making your
movements slower as your heart rate returns to normal. This
helps return blood circulation to the organs and brain, guarding
against fainting and dizziness. When you no longer feel sweaty
or out of breath, move on to stretching.
Stretch Your Legs: Stand facing a wall, one foot a good step behind
the other. Press into the wall, front knee bent, and feel a stretch through
the back heel. Place the ball and toes of the front foot on the wall and
bend that knee to stretch the lower calf. Take the same foot to its buttock
and hold, knees together. Turn your back to the wall, extend the same leg
forward (toes raised), bend the standing leg and pivot forward to feel
stretch at the back of the thigh. Repeat on the other leg.
Ball Squeeze: Keep a small rubber ball on your desk or beside the bed.
Squeeze it in your palm for up to a minute twice a day to exercise
your hands.
Finger Mobility: Using the palm of one hand, gently press the back
of the fingers of the other hand toward the inner arm and hold.
Opening the palm, draw the fingers back, trying to take them
toward the forearm. Repeat with the thumb. Repeat on the other hand.
Spread Your Toes: Remove your shoes and socks. Look at your toes.
Lift them and try to stretch each digit away from its neighbors.
Aim for a gap between each toe. It can help to spread the fingers wide
as you practice.

At the end of an exercise session, leave enough time to cooldown to bring your heart rate, breathing, and temperature
