After putting the body through a significant amount of exertion during a workout – it is important to give the body time to recover and repair. If the body is not given adequate rest before going through another round of exercise – it could actually lead to tissue breakdown instead of muscle building. This is the reason why professional trainers do not recommend working out the same muscle groups two days in a row. In order to speed up and enhance the recovery period – sport experts have recommended the following:

1. Replace Lost Fluids

Whether it’s a light jog or a rigorous training session – the body loses a lot of fluid. It is important to drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated and in balance. Water supports all of the body’s metabolic functions and nutrient transfer, so staying hydrated definitely helps with post-exercise recovery. Instead of plain water – you can also choose electrolyte-infused water to replenish lost minerals and vitamins.

2. Cold Showers

After a long workout – the muscle structure in the body is disrupted with multiple micro tears which then heal to become stronger. These micro tears are normally followed by swelling and inflammation – one of the causes for that ‘sore-feeling’ after exercise. A cold shower or cold compression can minimize inflammation, by flushing out the lactic acid, which allows the body to recover faster with minimal soreness associated with workouts.

3. Massage

Who would turn down a nice massage after being in the gym for an hour or two? A simple massage can help improve blood circulation so that the body can relax and relieve any localized lactic acid build up. Studies have shown that massage is one of the few consistently effective methods that can speed up the muscle recovery process.

4. Get Quality Sleep

Yes, sleep may sound overrated – but it does wonders for the body. While you sleep, Growth Hormone (GH) is produced which is responsible for tissue growth and repair. Getting adequate sleep not only enhances the body’s metabolic functions, but also prevents the onset of many chronic diseases.

5. Supply the Body with Nutrients

Apart from water, it is also important to replenish the body with nutrients to enhance post-exercise recovery. After a long workout – it is recommended to include high-quality protein and complex carbohydrates in your meal. To further boost recovery and enhance performance – many recreational and professional athletes have also opted in for Celergen.
