Shoulder rolls help release tension and improve shoulder mobility. Here's how to do them:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms relaxed by your sides.
- Roll your shoulders forward in a circular motion, gradually increasing the size of the circles.
- After a few repetitions, reverse the direction and roll your shoulders backward.
- Continue for 10-15 seconds in each direction.
4. Cool Down and Stretching
After a challenging workout, it's important to cool down and stretch to prevent muscle soreness and promote recovery. Try these cool down exercises:
4.1 Walk or Light Jog
Take a 5-10 minute walk or jog at a comfortable pace to gradually lower your heart rate.
