If you are a fan of outdoor fitness, the cold itself – let’s not hide – is a reason to go out. Cold weather has been shown to alter the composition of our body fat and training at lower temperatures is associated with greater endurance.
Despite the fitness program, rehabilitation is vital to being able to perform at the optimal level and yet, many of us forget it. Helps with muscle pain, inflammation, sleep, stress levels, the immune system and more.
Below I have 4 rehabilitation tips which if you follow you will immediately realize the differences.
1. Hydration is the A and the Z.
When we train, our body constantly loses fluids and electrolytes as we sweat. Maintaining hydration after training is associated with a healthier heart rate and reduced thermal stress. NASA personal trainer Jason Williams confirmed: “We tend not to drink so much water when it is cold, but it is important to help with recovery.”
2. Dynamic stretching
The most common type of stretching is known as static stretching, where we stay still in our position for an extended period of time. But because static stretching can lead to injury when the muscles are cold, start with a brisk walk or run. Alternatively, practice more dynamic stretching, which means stretching through movement.
3. Add the Foam Roller to the gym equipment
4. Take a relaxing bath with salts
What better than a hot bath or shower to rejuvenate muscles? A warm bath with salts not only helps with muscle soreness, but also helps reduce stress. Research also shows that a warm bath helps to relax muscles, soften collagen in ligaments and improve musculoskeletal function.
