Need to improve muscle recovery?

Use the tips after working out.

While embarking on a fitness journey, working out can be an exhilarating experience. However, it can also bring new sensations to your body, especially if you haven’t worked out in a while. No matter what your fitness regime is, giving your muscles some time to recover will take you far ahead in your strength training. If you haven’t been giving muscle recovery a chance, you could feel sore and weak. Other symptoms can include muscle cramps, fatigue, and sluggishness. If you have been exhibiting such characteristics after working out, you need to change your routine to add a few healthy habits. This blog will show you five ways to aid your muscle recovery game so that you come out stronger on the other side.

1) Eat nutritious foods: Many people wish to accompany their workout routine with a diet plan. However, if you haven’t understood your nutrition profile well. Everybody is different, but there are different kinds of physiologies that require a unique diet and workout plan to get the best results. Endomorph, ectomorph, and mesomorph are the three primary body types, which differ based on musculature, build, and metabolism. If your workout routine has been leaving you sore but not aiding recovery, add more nutritious meals to your diet by researching your body type.

2) Rest to recover: Do you know anyone who works out dedicatedly 7 days a week. Well, this is exactly the routine that will leave your muscles weaker and sore. It is imperative to give your body 24-48 hours to recover with the help of complete rest. This means that you can integrate 5 days to work out but leave two days to let your muscles recover. Also, sleeping 7-8 hours every day will help you speed up the recovery process so that you don’t feel as sore the next morning.

3) Try anti-inflammatory products: One of the reasons why your muscles hurt is due to inflammation. Caused by micro-lesions on your muscles every time you work out, soreness does not indicate whether the exercise is effective. Trying anti inflammatory products like cannabidiol can help your muscles relax and avoid painful cramps due to excessive lactic acid build-up. Using a wax vaporizer before bedtime will provide instant relief and promote blood circulation in sore areas.

4) Warm up before workouts: If you have been skipping this step due to time constraints or laziness, it’s probably the reason why you feel extremely sore. Take 5-7 minutes to warm up your body with mild exercises before diving into extensive weight-lifting or cardio. This will bring your body temperature up to a level that does not shock the muscles to cause excessive tearing and soreness.

5) Cool down and stretch: Just like warming up, it is essential to bring your heart rate and blood flow back to normal after working out. Try out cool-down routines for 5 minutes before wrapping up for the day.

Now that you know what needs to be done, we hope you will use these tips to provide your body with all the rest and recovery it needs. For more blogs on fitness and wellness, stay tuned to our next release!
