The cool down allows participants to slowly recover from the work they have done in the conditioning phase. If the last set ended with an interval, you will want to continue the active recovery exercise for a few minutes. Then you can have participants begin to go into slower, lower intensity movements. One way to do this is to repeat the warm up, perhaps in reverse order. Another option is to include a set of toning exercises. These can be exercises for muscular strength, or they can be abdominal and core strength exercises.
