Great work the past two days. I am so excited to get all of you on the fast track to fitness success in 2009!
We are off to a great start. I hope all of you are still talking to me come this weekend. So to make sure that you don't hate me too much, I wanted to share a few things you can start implementing today to help your body recover.
You can expect over the initial few days to experience plenty of muscle soreness. Follow these easy tips and you will feel better in no time!
Tip #1
Drink plenty of water! Keep yourself hydrated as your muscle is made up of over 70% water. By drinking more water you will retain less water!
Tip # 2
Self-Massage - Besides foam rolling pre and post-workout it is a smart investment to pick up a foam roll at your local sporting goods store like Dick's or online at Perform Better.
just click on the foam roll picture below
Tip # 3
- Hydrotherapy: Perform Contrast Showers to dramatically accelerate recovery and reduce total body inflammation following all workouts by alternating between 2 minutes of hot water and 30 seconds of as cold of water as you can tolerate
Tip #4
- Maintain 7-8+ Hour Sleep Schedule and Pre-Bed Routine
Tip # 5
- Eat Every 2-3 Hours. Focus on consuming lean proteins with every meal. Protein is the building block for lean muscle and will add in repairing the muscle tissues while helping you build a leaner fat-burning machine :)
