At what point in an Aqua Fitness session should you administer cool-down exercises?

Administering cool-down exercises at the end of an Aqua Fitness session is essential for a few key reasons. After the main workout, which typically includes intense cardiovascular and strength-based activities, the body requires a gradual transition back to a resting state. This transition involves lowering the heart rate and allowing the muscles to gradually relax after being exerted.

The cool-down helps prevent dizziness or fainting that could occur if one stops exercising abruptly. Additionally, it aids in reducing lactic acid buildup and alleviating muscle stiffness, contributing to a quicker recovery. Including stretches during the cool-down can also enhance flexibility and aid in muscle recovery. Overall, this practice is critical in promoting safety and overall effectiveness in the fitness routine, ensuring that participants conclude their session feeling refreshed rather than fatigued.
