Quick recovery after work out?

Question

other than stretching is there any thing that will help the following days after a hard work.

Answer 1

A good 5 minute cool down will help too. After your workout walk for about 5 minutes and then stretching alot is a big plus. Your recovery will get better with time. Your body will get used to working out so it will recover faster. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Depends what you're doing.

Run a recovery jog

I run High School Cross Country, and my coach recommends us to eat within 30 minutes after our hard days.

Within 30 minutes eat/drink

Jamba Juice w/ protein boost

8oz Chocolate Milk

Peanut Butter and Jelly w/ banana sandwich

snacks/foods high in protein

Fruits,

energy bars?, granola bars?

Anything BUT fast foods, junk foods, processed foods, or foods high in fat.

After the half hour drink lots of water, keep hydrated

(Obviously don't eat/drink everything on the list, but do whatever you want, maybe pick one bev. and one snack.)
