Don't just stop and drop to the grass. Sitting or lying down right away can make you feel dizzy — your body needs that cool-down walk to settle back to normal. Keep walking for a few minutes first, then run through the stretch routine again while your muscles are still warm.
Feeling tired, out of breath, or a little sore — that's normal, keep going at your own pace. But if something actually hurts, or you feel dizzy or faint — stop and tell an adult. Never push through real pain.
