I found this blog from http://www.nycendurance.com/about what do in situation dealing with recovery. I have a lot of clients ask me “What do I eat post workout”, “What can I do to help with soreness”, What things can I do to help make my workouts stronger”? Here is a great blog with some answers to the following questions.
Supplementing For Recovery
Takes Normally:
- Vitamin D for muscle repair, Mon/Thurs Mornings http://bit.ly/nZvNUO
- Natural calm (helps me get to sleep), Nightly http://bit.ly/oHJyey
- Fish Oil, Should* be taking twice a day. I manage to remember to take it 3-4 nights a week. I take 2/3 of a shot glass and really feel it if I forget to take it for a week http://bit.ly/pxRKex
- Pre Workout: I crossfit in the morning and need something in my stomach or its bad news bears during the WOD. I used to have a Larabar on the way to the train but have since switched to Egg Protein. I have a glass of water upon waking and then a glass with the powder mixed in http://bit.ly/qcyoxd
- Coconut water, after lots of sweating
- If its going to be a workout outside in the heat or something to that effect, I’ll have Endurolytes.
- Post Workout: a protein and sweet potato is the perfect recovery meal. Also SFH www.strongerfasterhealtier.com has a great post workout powder that is great and easy.
- ICE SHOWERS – I can’t stress enough how much this helps me. Hot water for a min or two and then a few mins of ice water. If I’m in a rush, just ice water
