In this EMCO/MCO period, a lot of white collar workers finally have some time to stay at home and carry out some workouts. However, if you do some wrong things after workout, it may render some opposite effects on your body. Thus, here is a list of things that you should do after workouts!

1. Stretching. 

It's crucial to know how to stretch properly for your body. Injuries can happen if adequate cool-down and stretching are not performed to promote muscle recovery. Stretching will aid in the reduction of discomfort, the speeding up of the recovery process and the elimination of tension after the workout. It may be as easy as practicing some yoga stretches or rolling out with a foam roller.

2. Drinking Water.

Your body loses water while you exercise. To enhance muscular flexibility and strength while reducing muscle pain, you should refill your body's water supply. Unless you've had a really rigorous workout, you don't need a sports drink. After an exercise, adequate hydration can also help to reduce inflammation and joint discomfort.

3. Eating Healthy Snack.

After an exercise, eating a nutritious snack will help to restore muscular energy. It is vital to consume carbohydrates and protein-rich meals. Carbs aid in the replenishment of glycogen levels, allowing you to refuel your batteries. While protein promotes muscle recovery by supplying amino acids that aid in muscle repairing and rebuilding.

Protein options:

1. Milk

2. Yogurt

3. Nuts and seeds

4. Soy foods

5. Low-sugar protein bars

4. Change Clothes.

It's possible that hanging around in sweaty clothes puts you at risk for skin or fungal infections. Even if you let your clothes air dry while running errands, the smells and microorganisms remain. Soggy training clothes may retain moisture, allowing yeast, fungi, bacteria, and germs to grow. Change your clothes, including socks and underwear, if you can't shower straight away.

Doing the right things at the right moment is very important. Being healthy is the greatest wealth for everyone!
