Why the cool down walk after each workout? The key to recovery is blood flow. The quicker we start “clearing” the body of waste and replacing that with new oxygenated blood, the quicker we recover and can workout again. Walking, instead of siting or laying on the floor starts this process.
Another BIG reason is the power of community that comes from shared suffering. This is why military members refer to their cohorts as “brothers” or “sisters” after going through bootcamp or a deployment together. The cool down walk offers the class the opportunity to relish in their shared suffering and make those bonds stronger.
