Post-Workout Recovery Tips

Did you know that your post-workout recovery routine can help make your workouts and healthy lifestyle choices even more beneficial? Recovery is essential to refuel your body so you feel your best after exercising – and so you have the energy you need to do it again during your next workout! And, if you are looking for some tips, you’ve come to the right place! Here is my short and easy list of post-workout go-to’s to help keep you energized and feeling great: 

 

Rehydrate. Replenishing your fluids is essential after breaking a sweat during your workout! Not only will this quench your thirst, but it will also help to reduce post-workout muscle soreness. There’s no better choice for post-exercise hydration than water, and if you need a little flavor boost try adding fresh fruit slices and some mint! This is a much healthier choice than sugary sports drinks or sodas. 


Stretch. I love doing a quick, 3-5 minute cool-down stretch routine after my workouts to help reduce any muscle stiffness while helping my body get back to its resting place. I also love using a foam roller to help soothe any areas that are especially tight or sore. And a good cool-down will help refocus your mind and keep stress at bay!


Eat a Healthy Snack. Refueling with a healthy snack post-workout will help replenish your energy levels, aid in muscle recovery, and help promote a metabolism boost. It’s important to choose your post-workout snacks carefully, which is why I always reach for my EVER BETTER™ Protein Cookie Bites! I created these so I could have a tasty, easy snack to help my body refuel after working out. You can choose from four protein-rich, keto-friendly, gluten-free flavors all made with probiotics for immune health and muscle support: Pumpkin Spice Joy! Chocolate PB Passion!, Double Chocolate Delight!, and Brownie Bliss!



      BONUS TIP – I always wash my face right after working out to help keep my skin clear and bright!
