Cool Down

WHy is it so important to do a cool down. I usually abruptly stop and start stretching.

Here is an article from Sparkpeople.

Tony Horton says that cooling down will keep your blood from pooling, which I also saw in yet another article about the importance of cooling down (this one is very running-oriented, but still useful).

Bottom line, it's not a good idea to skip cooldowns.
