How important are the cool-down portions of a workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very: The major aspect of the work out is the exercise itself. Afterwords you can stop entirely and there are no proven benefits from an intermediate slow down in exercise. Keep well hydrated and stop if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable beyond your usual.
