The Purpose of Cool-Down. The purpose of cool-down is the exact opposite of warm-up. Incorporating a planned cool-down at the end of your exercise session assists the body in the transition from exercise to rest. It allows the heart to adjust to the decreased intensity more slowly and can prevent laboured breathing at the end of higher intensity exercise sessions.
A set of warm-up exercises should be done with any exercise where weight is used in order to stretch the muscles and increase blood flow to them, thus preventing injuries. A warm-up set should be half of the set's weight, done for 12 reps.
