What you do post your workout is as important as the work you do training. Your body has been pushed and you must look after it when you are cooling down, to avoid injury and slow recovery time.
Post Workout Cool Down
Stretching
These aren’t the same stretches as you did BEFORE your workout. Your cool down stretches are designed to release the tension in your muscles and aid in recovery time. Static stretches can help to avoid delayed muscle soreness too. Consider using a foam roller for those really sore areas.
Weigh yourself
This may sound counterintuitive, but it’s important to check your hydration levels after a workout. If you have too much fluid loss, it means you haven’t had enough water / isotonic drinks. Weighing yourself on a smart scale can help avoid the effects of dehydration.
Sip on a Protein Shake
Take advantage of the anabolic period after a workout and also help your body recover quicker by sipping on a protein shake post training. Your body will be craving protein and carbs, but food takes a while to digest, so a shake is better to start with.
