How to recover after exercise and training
When we exercise our bodies undergo micro-damage.
This is quite normal and needed, but also the recovery period after exercise is so important.
If you do it right, your body will repair itself stronger than before. If you keep on pushing your exercise and don’t do a good recovery habit, all of this micro-damage will add up and cause an injury.
What are the tips and techniques for a good recovery?
- Rest & Sleep: This is very important. After every exercise rest your body so that the sore muscles recover and for your body to get rid of the damaged cell and generate the new cells.
- Compression socks: They can help recovery by improving circulation and lymph drainage.
- Food: Eating a balanced meal within 2 hours of exercise will give you best recovery results. How much you need of what will depend on your body, training type and goals.
- Massage/foam rolling: Relaxes your muscles.
Active recovery: This can help your lungs and heart recover quicker. Like jogging or gentle cycling. - Stretching: This can help you regain your flexibility and range of motion
