The guy behind you at the light has his camera phone out btw
So if you're in sports gear, don't do it. In fact, you may do better to actually lie down rather than sit, to get your legs and your heart at the same elevation and help your blood pressure come down. After you've walked off the high heart rate, of course; don't dead drop from high exertion to relaxation. I've done that when meditating and my body was pretty seriously jacked (when meditating, this is
extremely apparent).
not sure i understand what you're talking about here. i'm a dude, not wearing skirts, and not crossing my legs immediately after a workout.

to be clear, this isn't something that's happening right after a hard workout - not like i workout, sit down, stand up, get dizzy.
it's more of an always thing when i'm doing a lot of hard rides, e.g. when i'm in good shape.
