subject: How to Rejuvenate After Your Workout by:Kamau Austin [print this page]

Regular exercise will help protect you from chronic disease,

improve your mood and decrease your chances of injury. The

older you are, the more you have to gain from exercise.

All it takes is 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Everyone tries to exercise, but most people forget about

their body once they have finished the exercise. If you are

not careful about your post-workout routing, it will come

back to haunt you.

After a workout, exercising for several minutes at a low

speed helps blood to be redistributed throughout the body

consistently and prevents the dizziness, sickness, and

muscle cramps that sometimes occur after exercises.

In addition, you need to supply your body with water and

carbohydrates after a workout. Carbohydrates help regenerate

muscles, increase stamina, and prevent fatigue. A few good

examples of high quality carbohydrate foods are bread, rice,

jam, fruit, vegetables, table sugar, potatoes, and sweets.

It's also important to cool down your muscles after

exercising by stretching them. Stretching improves

flexibility, lessens soreness, and improves circulation.

Here are a few tips:

~ (1) Hold a static stretch for twenty to thirty seconds.

~ (2) Stretching positions should be repeated after the cool

down period to enhance muscle strength and flexibility.

~ (3) Include some deep breathing exercise in your cool down

routine to oxygenate your system.

~ (4) At the end of any strenuous physical activity, gently

bring your breathing down to normal. Walking and easy indoor

cycling are great follow-ups to a workout. Both of them

allow you to hydrate yourself and also put on warm

clothing.

These four tips will help you avoid mishap after a strenuous

workout session. However, mishaps still occur and cause

problems like muscle pain, or in older individuals,

arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the loss of the body's shock-absorbing

ability. It is a degeneration that is part of the aging

process. And when a person who has osteoarthritis exercises,

there can be problems.

This can be a serious problem since regular exercise is

recommended as a good way to fight a host of medical

conditions associated with aging. But now there is hope for

people suffering from osteoarthritis too.

There are products, such as Phosoplex, available that help

counter the effects of osteoarthritis. Phosoplex is able to

Rejuvenate the body and combat the aches and pains

associated with the deliberating affects of osteoarthritis.

It is also effective in countering the muscle pain that

often accompanies workouts. Phosoplex is available at

Amazon and at http://www.BODeStore.com. So enjoy your

workout without worrying about the future.
