Yeah definitely stretch afterwards. I dunno about weights. - JD Jan 19, 14:49 2
- I got this ad reading this post. Lifting weights has helped me greatly with my yoga. -- (link) - lileve Jan 19, 14:57
- well, back when I was running, I *had* to do quads exercises to keep my knees from going out. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:53
The cooldown? I never did this. What's it for? -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:47 4
- stretching is not the cooldown. Stretching lengthens your shortened muscles, helps remove lactic acid, and generally improves performance next time. - loosilu Jan 19, 14:52
- It's to keep you from passing out from too abrupt a change from strenuous exercise to standing around. ;^) -- nm - TaurusII Jan 19, 14:49 2
  - yeah if you're heart drops to quick then you're in for some problems. The Cooldown helps prevent that. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 14:52
  - Kinda like cuddling? -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 14:52
