Question

a proper cool-down routine does which of the following?
a. helps the body adjust back to a resting state.
b. strengthens muscles.
c. motivates you for your next workout.
d. leaves you feeling worn-out.

Explanation:

A cool - down routine is part of physical activity. After exercise, the body is in an active state (elevated heart rate, blood flow to muscles etc.). A proper cool - down (such as light walking, gentle stretching) gradually reduces the heart rate, blood pressure and helps the body transition back to a resting state. Strengthening muscles is more related to the main exercise or strength - training part of a workout. Motivating for the next workout is not the primary function of a cool - down. A cool - down should not leave one feeling worn - out as its purpose is to relax the body.

Answer:

A. Helps the body adjust back to a resting state.
