Question

Why do you think it is important to stretch and bring your heart rate down after exercise ?

Answer 1

It is important to stretch before exercising because for example if you were to be doing a strenuous workout it causes the blood vessels in your legs to expand. Which then causes more blood into your legs and feet. If you were to stop after a while of exercising your heart rate slows down and blood can pool into your lower body which could cause you to possibly faint.
