Post-workout muscle relaxation

After an intense workout, helping your muscles to relax and repair supports recovery and soreness prevention. Here are some effective methods:

• Stretching - Perform gentle stretches targeting worked muscles, holding each for 15-30 seconds to reduce tension.
• Foam rolling - Use a foam roller to massage muscles, easing knots and improving blood flow.
• Hydration - Drink water to support recovery and help your kidneys do their job of flushing out toxins.
• Rest- Get 7-9 hours of sleep to promote muscle repair.
• Heat and cold therapy - Alternate between heat (warm shower) and cold (ice pack) to reduce inflammation.
• Massage - Consider professional or self-massage to relax tight muscles.

With these tips, you can help your muscles relax and recover faster.
