Last week, we posted on our Instagram asking for YOUR favorite post-workout recovery methods. Read on to see the great answers:

Foam rolling! And lying down for some deep breathing until my heart rate is back to norm (long enough to appreciate my body and its work!). Also love a good plant based meal or protein smoothie to build my muscles back up. 

Some quality H2O and yoga poses / handstands

I eat!!! And drink water!!!

Gotta love a quick sauna session, moisturizing face wash, and a smoothie from @souppeddler

Cold shower and protein shake- sometimes lying on a concrete floor with the fan on. Pretty much all the cold things. 

Legs up the wall! 😉

TIPS FROM OUR PROS

“Making time for self-care and recovery is crucial to any wellness program, so that’s step one! After I’ve set aside time, I love using the infrared sauna Downtown and the hot tub at the 360 location.“

Chad can be found at our Downtown location teaching a total of six weekly classes, providing private training sessions, and taking fitness to a new level in his small group training series. Chad offers his clients the same dedication and perseverance that propelled his own health and fitness journey, and is passionate about helping people make lifelong, positive changes!

“I always foam roll, stretch and ice my sore spots after working out. I use therapy balls and lots of dynamic movement to encourage safe range of motion.”

“A full night’s sleep (7-9 hours), 400-600mg of magnesium, half your body weight in ounces of water, and 2-4 massages a month! Recovery is all about circulation, removal of metabolic waste products, and proper hormone balance.”
