Answer 1

4 should be about right

Answer 2

Answer:

4. Take time to cool-down after exercise.

Explanation:

After any exercise people need to have proper time to cool-down. Cooling down is one of the most important things to do while training. It prevents any injury that might take place during an exercise. Cooling down helps your body sink all the exercise that you’ve done and let the muscle rest and properly stretch out. Overuse injuries happens when someone tries to take too much physical activity in a little amount of time without pacing themselves, cooling down and letting the muscles rest.
