Do you cool-down? At times, cool-downs feel unimportant or a waste of time, however, DocJen & Dr. Dom break the confusion in this episode. With a high emphasis on specificity, they explain the importance of strategically cooling down the body to prepare the body for optimal recovery, addressing how to appropriately use breath and movement after exercise to kickstart that rest, digest, and recovery state.
