Your workout session doesn’t end after your exercise. How you rest and what you do in the hours following your last rep may impact whether your recovery and build muscle mass in all the places you want to. 


What you do afterward is just as important as the rest of your workout. A post-workout routine ensures that you get satisfactory results from your exercises.


Why Are Post-Workout Activities Important?


Whether you workout at home or the gym as part of your fitness journey, post-workout activities significantly impact the results. Skipping these post-workout activities could lead to dehydration and muscle atrophy and make you feel tired or hangry. Moreover, you might see disappointing results the next time you use a smart scale to check your weight.



Things You Can Do After Working Out


Cool Down


After an intense or tiring workout session, cool yourself down to help your body relax. Switching from active to passive without proper transition may cause you to feel light-headed or dizzy.


A light jog or walk is an effective way to return your body to its normal state. Moreover, doing some stretching exercises increases your flexibility and decreases the likelihood of injuries. Additionally, you shouldn’t stretch your body so much since it could increase muscle tension, which leads to pain.


Rehydrate


During a workout for weight loss, your hydration levels decrease as sweat evaporates from your skin. This loss of body fluid makes it essential to regain what was lost.


Therefore, rehydrating yourself is one of the post-workout activities you can do, especially after an intense session. Replenishing your body fluids improves muscle flexibility, builds strength, and prevents soreness.



The following are some of the drinks you can take besides water:


  • Coconut water
  • Black or green tea
  • Electrolyte drinks
  • Chocolate milk
  • Vegetable juice
  • Fruit smoothie

Avoid drinking beverages high in sugar, caffeine or alcohol as they can cause dehydration.


Eat Protein 30 to 60 Minutes After an Intense Workout 


You don’t need to eat a lot of protein after your workout, but it is essential to eat the right nutrients to recover energy and allow your body to begin the recovery phase. During the cooling down phase, your muscles are ripe to absorb nutrients to help you get more muscle definition. 


Try to consume high-quality protein to build and repair muscle tissue after intense exercises like strength training. 



Give Yourself a Massage


Giving yourself a massage after a workout provides several benefits, such as faster recovery time and better muscle performance. However, if you can’t justify getting a professional massage - a massage gun is an effective alternative. 


Getting your body into shape is a long-term goal. Even after you accomplish it, you still need to be mindful of your lifestyle to retain your overall physique.
