096 The Best Post Workout Cool Down

The Body Nerd Show - A podcast by Alexandra Ellis

Have you ever been so sore from a workout that you felt it for a few days after? Soreness is the result of working hard (yay!) but the lingering inflammation and impact on how you move is a bummer.  I’ve tested and tinkered with this one over the years - including that one time I did one leg to feel if it was actually making a difference (I wouldn’t recommend that one because the only thing worse than being sore is being lopsided and sore).  So if your workouts leave you sore - you do not want to miss this one!  You’ll learn: The best post-workout cool down  The science behind why this post-workout cool down is so effective And why you definitely want to incorporate it into your workouts ASAP All the links: - Massage Therapy Attenuates Inflammatory Signaling After Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage - Rad Rod from Rad Roller - How to Get Stronger without Getting Hurt Workshop - www.aewellness.com/getstrong/ - www.aewellness.com/podcast - Show notes, links and more. - Join the free Body Nerds FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aewbodynerds/  - Come hang out with me on Instagram @hollaformala : https://instagram.com/hollaformala/  - Bodywork Starter Guide - learn the 6 places you need to roll right now for quick-relief, plus the reason why what you’ve tried so far has only given you a temporary fix.
