Cooldown sessions help the body ease out of harder work with gentle movement and gradually lowering intensity. They are usually short, easy, and focused on bringing breathing and heart rate back down after training. In Streakout, this activity type is best understood as recovery work rather than a main fitness session.

Training advice
Benefits
Cooldowns help close the training loop: they keep you moving while breathing and heart rate settle, and they make the end of a hard session feel intentional instead of abrupt. They are especially useful after intervals, running, cycling, strength circuits, or any workout where the final minutes were intense.
What to watch out for
Keep the effort deliberately easy. A cooldown should not become extra training volume, and it should not be used to push through dizziness, chest discomfort, unusual shortness of breath, or sharp pain after a hard workout.
