Guided Cool Down — Post-Workout Stretches

This guided cool down will take you just under 20 minutes. It’s perfect to do after a workout! There is some dynamic stretching, but the real focus is on static stretches held for 30 seconds each. We’ll hit the major muscle groups, showing some extra love to hips and shoulders.

Every body is different. You may have muscle imbalances or nagging injuries that require additional attention before and after a workout. This is a general guided cool down—I encourage you to add stretches and foam rolling as needed.

Guided Cool Down

I get it. If you’re strapped on time and squeezing in a quick workout, the cool down/stretching is the first thing to get scrapped. I’m guilty of doing it sometimes, too! But it’s SO IMPORTANT. Taking the time to stretch and recover after a workout is vital for staying injury-free.

Start your workout with one of my warm up videos (5-Minute Warm Up or Gentle 7-Minute Warm Up) and finish it off with this guided cool down. Yes, it will take a little more time, but your body will thank you and you’ll be all the more ready to take on your next workout. 🙂

If you’re looking for a guided cool down that’s a little shorter, I do have a 10-minute stretching video for runners. It’s great for non-runners, too, but focuses mostly on lower body.

I’ll have a new workout for you guys on Tuesday. I’m on a plane to Vegas for a friend’s bachelorette party right now, so I’m trying to be realistic here. A Monday morning post after a redeye home Sunday night just isn’t going to happen lol.

Before I sign off, I want to thank everyone who has subscribed to my YouTube channel! I’m nearing 25K subscribers and plan to do a giveaway to celebrate when I get there.
