In Mexico, approximately 39.6 percent of the population actively performs some kind of physical activity, according to Inegi surveys. Here, reference is made to any body movement that achieves energy consumption and can be of both moderate and intense intensity.
However, the increase in physical activity among people has generated a certain lack of knowledge about what to do after a routine.
All physical training is designed to tire the body, which is why recovery of muscles and ligaments is essential to avoid energy depletion or injury.
Therefore, consider taking into account these recommendations that will help you when you finish your training.
stretching
After completing your routine, easy and short stretches will be your best ally to relax your muscles and give a mental close to your training, as well as facilitating muscle recovery.
cold baths
A short exposure to cold water allows greater circulation to the blood, which achieves a greater oxygen load to the main organs and muscles. After a cold shower your skin will stretch and look for toning.
mental relaxation
With exercise we have a mental exhaustion because everything is focused on doing the routine correctly and efficiently. Therefore, performing yoga or meditation sessions after training will allow us to free ourselves from the stress and tension generated by physical activity.
Hydration and nutrition
To recover from physical wear and tear, it is important to prioritize lost electrolytes. According to the intensity of the physical effort, hydration must be privileged, at least half a liter of water. Also, the consumption of complex carbohydrates and protein promotes desirable muscle development, although it is important to see a specialist to meet the individual needs and goals of each body.
Use of thermogels
Thermogels use cold-heat compensation that allow skin reaffirmation. Using one with natural ingredients will allow faster absorption, with hydration to the skin without staining clothes so that it will maximize results, for example Torongia Firming Body Gel.
Rest
Just as everything mentioned above helps to de-stress the muscles and the mind, the most important time for muscle recovery and tissue regeneration is at night. Therefore, night rest will allow a significant well-being for our body.
Daily physical activity is unmatched for muscular, cardiovascular, functional improvement and the maintenance of desirable body weight. However, care before, during and after the routine is essential to avoid unnecessary muscle, ligament or tendon injuries due to poor execution.
