Without taking the time to rest and recover, you risk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/8-ways-sabotaging-fitness-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">overtraining<\/a> and making yourself more prone to low energy and injury. You\u2019ll also feel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/general-fitness\/energy-levels-at-the-gym\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not as great<\/a> as if you\u2019ve had the proper rest that you need. So how do recovery methods differ for each workout? Find out here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-different-recovery-methods-to-avoid-low-energy\">Different Recovery Methods to Avoid Low Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-recover-from-cardio\">How to Recover from Cardio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydration is key to help avoid low energy. You sweat a lot from moderate to intense cardio so make sure that you replace lost fluid. If you weren\u2019t drinking water throughout your workout either, drink even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve only done moderate level cardio, then It\u2019s best to stay away from sports drinks that are marketed towards athletes. These drinks contain high levels of added sugar that aren\u2019t needed for moderate workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can drink these sports drinks and other liquids with electrolytes after longer cardio sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-recover-from-hiit\">How to Recover from HIIT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/hiit-or-liss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HIIT<\/a>, or High Intense Interval Training, consists of short bursts of extreme exercise followed by rest break. This definitely gets your heart ramping up a lot quicker than LISS or moderate exercise. You\u2019ll also be burning calories after your workout thanks to a process called post-exercise oxygen consumption. EPOC refers to the amount of oxygen it takes to restore your body to its normal state. HIIT boosts this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as drinking fluids and making sure that you\u2019re hydrated, make sure you eat a meal rich in carbs and protein (3:1 ratio is ideal). This way, you are feeding your body the fuel it needs by letting your muscles grow and restore glycogen stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HIIT is very taxing on the body so it is best to give yourself one full day in between to recover. Doing it every day or even multiple times a day can really increase your risk of overtraining. Do yourself a favor, and take a break in order to avoid bouts of low energy from too much intense exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-recover-from-running\">How to Recover from Running<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After a run, you would have sweat quite a bit. So, surprise, surprise, you will need to restore your fluids. Water and\/or electrolytes is your number one priority. Believe it or not, chocolate milk is one of the best post-running drink\/snack that you can have. It embodies the 3:1 carb to protein ratio that you need, and of course, it\u2019s delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/nutrition-tips\/what-to-eat-before-and-after-a-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">well-balanced snack or meal<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember to incorporate rest days into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/keep-workouts-consistent-workout-scheduler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedule<\/a>. Running puts a lot of stress and pressure on your joints, so it\u2019s crucial to give them a break. At least one rest day a week is ideal, and maybe even two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find it difficult to take a break, it doesn\u2019t mean that you have to be sedentary the entire day. Go for a walk, or do some low-impact activities. Swimming is a great one because it takes the stress off your joints, while still allowing you to get some exercise in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-recover-from-strength-training\">How to Recover from Strength Training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/strength-training-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strength training<\/a> focuses primarily on building your muscles, you\u2019ll need to make sure you consume protein and a good amount of carbs after a workout. You would have depleted your muscle stores so it\u2019s important to refuel. This will aid in recovery, help avoid low energy, as well as promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/exercise-tips\/muscle-growth-plateau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">muscle growth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to ensure that you drink water and have a good, filling meal. Stick to the 3:1 carbohydrate\/protein ratio to maximize recovery. You have probably heard the perfect recovery drink with this exact ratio is chocolate milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recovery times and rest days in between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/exercise-tips\/run-and-strength-train\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strength training<\/a> greatly depends on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/exercise-tips\/how-many-times-a-week-should-you-workout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">workout schedule<\/a>. If you split your days between muscle groups, such as back, shoulders, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/exercise-tips\/benefits-of-leg-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">legs<\/a>, etc, then you can get away with training 5-6 days with one rest day in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you train the same muscle group in a row, give yourself at least a days rest in between to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-just-listen-to-your-body\">Just Listen to Your Body<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>While the general rule of thumb is to give the same muscle group a rest day, minimum, in between workouts. Otherwise, you risk overtraining. And at the end of the day, just listen to your body. If you\u2019re feeling the effects of training that transcends beyond normal DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), then take a break. You won\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/8-ways-sabotaging-fitness-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruin your progress<\/a> by taking a couple of days off, in fact, you\u2019ll probably help it. Use a foam roller post workout to help recover faster and help with DOMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you always warm up before your workout and stretch afterwards. It\u2019ll facilitate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/exercise-tips\/speed-up-muscle-recovery-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">muscle recovery process<\/a> and help to speed it up. It might be a good idea to foam roll as well. This will lessen the recovery times for each activtity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-workout-with-jefit\">Workout with Jefit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/10-ways-keep-track-fitness-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Track your training<\/a>, record your progress, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/workout-tips\/customizable-gym-workout-planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customize your workout plan<\/a> with Jefit.
