The cool down is also a very important component of your workout. A period of 1-3 minutes of slower walking at the conclusion of your walk or jog aids in restoring your heart to its normal resting rate. A progression to a few stretching exercises will prevent muscles from tightening. Never stop your jogging or walking abruptly as this could cause pooling of blood and waste products in the legs, resulting in stiffness of the joints and muscles. The cardiovascular system requires a gradual decrease in activity level, in returning to your resting heart rate.
