Cool Down Routine with Coach Troy

Relax and Stretch After Your Workout

Coach Troy guides participants through a cool-down routine to relax and stretch after a workout. The session begins with gentle arm stretches, lifting arms overhead, looking up, and spreading fingers wide while practicing deep breathing.

Participants move into deeper stretches by positioning one hand behind the head and using the opposite hand to hold the elbow, alternating sides. This helps release tension in the shoulders and arms while maintaining a proper upright posture.

The routine progresses to cross-body arm stretches and torso twists for a full upper-body release. Legs are then activated with stretches to the toes, ankles, and calves, offering flexibility improvements tailored to individual levels of mobility.

Coach Troy incorporates balance exercises, such as rising onto the toes like a ballerina, emphasizing core stability. He advises participants to use walls or supports for added safety during these movements.

The cool-down concludes with mindful breathing and full-body stretches, allowing participants to reflect on their hard work and prepare for the rest of their day.

Key takeaways

  • Cool-downs aid recovery and relaxation.
  • Stretching enhances flexibility and posture.
  • Balance exercises promote core stability.
