Post Workout Recovery Tips

Fitness Together workouts can be demanding and often leave you with feelings of soreness, tightness and fatigue. These feelings come with the territory when working hard in the studio to reach your goals and transform your body into a lean and healthy machine. The benefits of the exercise routines you do definitely outweigh temporary soreness and tightness but it is understandable that you may want these post workout feelings to be reduced or even eliminated for the most part. The soreness, tightness, and fatigue is usually your body telling you that it needs some post workout TLC to speed up the recovery process and help your muscles repair. Four easy and highly effective measures you can take to give your body what it needs are: (1) rest one or even two days per week depending on the intensity of the workouts performed on the other days, (2) immediately feed your muscles with lean muscle-repairing protein (protein powder, fish, eggs, chicken etc.) after a workout, (3) take a warm Epsom salt bath to relieve muscle tightness (removes toxins and relaxes the nervous system), (4) book a great massage with a registered massage therapist (also aids in the removal of toxins within the body).
