Slow Down and Stretch!

Jump on the spot three times. Now stop. Feel your heart going fast? After we move, we need to slow our body down gently.

After we run and play, our body needs to slow down. We do cool-down stretches to help. Stretches are slow, gentle moves. They help our muscles feel good. A muscle is a soft part inside your body that helps you move. Try these two stretches: First, reach both arms up high and hold. Next, stand tall and bend one knee up slowly. Well done!
