After Training · Day 1
Downshift
Slow the breath and let your heart rate come down after training.

- Voice and captions
Spinn Originals play softly under the voice and step back while it speaks. If a workout is playing its soundtrack, that carries on instead.
Read the words
- Good work. Take five minutes to come down from your session.
- Lie down if you can, or sit somewhere comfortable. Standing is fine too. Eyes open or closed.
- Your breathing may still be fast. That is fine. Let it be what it is for now.
- Notice your heartbeat. You might feel it in your chest, your neck or your hands.
- Now start to lengthen the breath out. Breathe in through your nose, and let the out breath be a little slower.
- In through the nose.
- And a slow breath out.
- Again. In.
- And slowly out.
- Keep going at your own pace, letting each breath out take a little longer than the breath in.
- If longer breaths feel like a strain, just breathe normally. That is always fine.
- Notice your heartbeat again. No need to change it. Just watch it, whatever it is doing.
- Let your shoulders drop. Let your jaw soften. Let your hands go loose.
- Keep breathing slowly, with a long, easy breath out.
- If your mind replays the workout, let it. Then come back to the breath.
- Notice the ground under you, holding your weight.
- Let the breath go back to its own rhythm now.
- Take one more full breath in.
- And let it go.
- Open your eyes if they were closed. Get up slowly when you are ready. That is the session done.
