It was a beautiful morning in Denver and I had few minutes to step outside and finally answer Ben’s question from last week, which was “What can you do to prevent being sore the day after a workout?”
I touched on 3 main topics:
- Ice to reduce swelling
- Proper nutrition to replenish broken muscles. (Kevin Ogar, a friend of mine, said this, “Cramming some post workout carbs is a good idea: sweet potatoes, yams, squash, starchy veggies and tuber (besides white potatoes), grassfed meat and butter. And large quantities of them”)
- Active stretching and mobility to decrease likelihood of injury and increase range of motion (I would definitely recommend Kelly Starrett’s MobilityWOD)
What do you think, guys?
