A cooldown is especially important after a workout as strenuous as HIIT to safely slow the heart rate, reduce muscle soreness, and maintain flexibility, Karisa told POPSUGAR.
Take five to 10 minutes to do some lower-intensity movements, such as lateral lunges and Cat-Cows, as well as some static stretches, holding each for at least 30 seconds to properly recover from your efforts. Some good moves include a standing quad stretch, crossbody shoulder stretches, and seated forward bends — find a more comprehensive list of stretches here.
