I’m so sore from my workout. what can help with recovery?
“The best way to recover from any workout or intense movement, is active recovery,” says Meghan Braun, doctor of physical therapy at Body Mechanics Physical Therapy, as well as a certified strength and conditioning specialist.
“Meaning, don't go sit on your couch and watch Netflix for hours afterwards. Focus on low load, longer duration stretches, light/recovery yoga and general movement. Drinking plenty of water, and replacing and replenishing the electrolytes you lost during a workout also helps muscles and other tissues such as ligaments, tendons, bones and even your brain, lungs and heart get more blood flow. Keeping the blood flowing is what helps us to ‘flush’ out the toxins, along with the lymphatic system**. So keep it moving!”
