To get maximum benefit from the exercise videos you purchase, it’s really important that you do a brief warm down after exercising. The process gradually returns your body to its resting state and, by draining any waste products that build up after exercise, helps to reduce soreness and fatigue. It makes all the difference when it comes to avoiding injury and capitalising on your training.
When you have been working to strengthen muscles, it is vital to stretch them at the end of your programme. Strength work requires muscles to contract repeatedly and, unless you finish with some light stretching, they will remain tight, and the range of movement of their respective joints will be compromised.
The same is true after playing a round of golf. The principal muscles used need to be stretched, because golf is essentially a one-sided game and you can gradually develop serious imbalances in your musculature.
This warm down routine will allow you to relax gradually, improve flexibility and slow your heart rate. It should only take about 5 minutes to complete.
