These are some of the movements I use to cool down after an intense workout:

Using static stretching poses - added movement! 

Most important factor in this workout is coming back to your breath! Really focus on your breathing. 7/11 breathing, 7 count inhale - 11 count exhale! - forces you to control you breath and bring you heart rate down!

Be as playful as you want with these movements, stretch where needed! As you guys will see in the video, I go off the cusp and try NEW things! LETS WORK!

Hold each movement - stretch for 30 - 45 seconds / as long as you need!

-Bend over with long spine and touch toes! 
-Be playful - walk hands around in circle - come up - slowly drop back down. Etc STRETCH!

Standing toe touch

- Find a wall 
- Hinge at the hip with hands attached to the wall + sit as deep into a squat as possible 
- should feel a stretching sensation in upper back + low back + hammys! 
- Be playful / walk hands to either side - shift hips from right to left!

Wall stretch (Hip Hinges + Arm stretch)

Sit in a depth squat (as I’m doing right now uploading to the app) and be playful - rock back and fourth - straighten legs - lift arms + rotate torso! Etc. explore your body!

Depth squat (Playful)

- in a lateral lunge / rock back and fourth 
- allow arms to pull you deeper into stretch 
- bend both knees in sumo deadlift position 
- be playful and explore some of your aches + pains

Lateral lunge (Playful)

- in a forward lunge position (knee down) sit into your hips + be playful - wrap arm in between legs / inside elbow to inside foot etc
