🧘‍♂️ Cool Down

• Slow Jogging: Gradually decrease intensity, focusing on steady breathing.
• Static Stretches: Hold stretches for 15-30 seconds, targeting hamstrings, quads, calves, and arms.
• Deep Breathing: Inhale deeply through the nose, hold, and exhale slowly to relax muscles.

💪 Calisthenics

• Push-Ups: Maintain proper form, engaging chest, arms, and core.
• Squats: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, lower hips as if sitting in a chair, and keep chest lifted.
• Plank Hold: Support weight on forearms and toes, keeping the body in a straight line.
