Hi.
What is a cooldown at the end of a workout good for? should i do that? if yes, why?

Something I like to do is perform 45-1hr of training, then afterwards, I perform cardio training.

I read that if you did light cardio for 10 min. after weights, you would remove the majority of the lactic acid in the muscles, and therefore enhance recovery. I do it right after my post-workout meal

can anybody confirm this, that cooldown enhances recovery?

and why do you do it after your post workout meal? why not right after the last set of your workout?

i drink my post workout drink Immediately after my last set, so my cooldown is right after my last set maybe 1 or 2 minutes . If you did a cooldown later say 20 minutes later- that would be stupid

And for all who don't know, LS actually does this on a stage at his gym.
