A good fight back from 20 points down to bring it to within 2 late in the game. But the Hawks couldn't quite close it out against a solid performance from the Bay of Plenty Whai. Great to see the boys back in action and everyone enjoying the first game of the season.

Most of us know we should warm up before exercise. But warming down is often overlooked.

This is often because people are eager to finish their workout, are pressed for time, or feel that the main exercise session is over.

But here's why we should take an extra 5-10 minutes after exercise to warm down:

Warming down after exercise gradually brings your heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature back to resting levels, preventing dizziness. It helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness.

Muscles are warmest and most pliable immediately after a workout, making it the ideal time to stretch for improved range of motion.

A warm down also provides a transition from an intense, alert state to a relaxed, calm state.
