A member asked:

Is a 2 minute cool down after exercise ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be OK.: Depending on what you were doing exercise-wise, 2-5 minutes of cool-down should suffice. Along with adequate water intake. And a nutritious post-exercise meal of complex carbohydrates and lean proteins.
