Warm-down exercises

Hi

I know there are warm-up exercises, but never heard of warm-down exercises.

Can I say that these are exercises that calm you down?

That's incorrect.

The phrase you're looking for is "cool-down exercises."

"Warm-up exercises" are light exercises - emphasizing stretching rather than resistance and strength movements - that are done before the main workout: running, weightlifting, dancing, etc.

"Warm-down exercises" are similar light exercises - emphasizing stretching - that are done after the main workout.

Although it may seem kind of a contradiction, I believe that the term "warm-down", as in e.g. "warm-down exercises", is widely used and accepted as correct.
