How to Relax After Exercise

In real life, many people love sports very much. Regular exercise can not only maintain a perfect figure but also exercise the body, improve immunity, and prevent physical diseases. Long-term exercise can also consume excess fat in the body, achieve the effect of weight loss, and exercise the coordination ability of the limbs. However, we often feel tired after exercise. So how can we relax after exercise? Let us take a look at it together below.

Stretching after exercise does have many benefits to the body. Experts say that stretching exercises can expand the range of motion of the athlete's muscles and help improve muscle fatigue. In addition, stretching exercises can also help relieve involuntary tremors that occur after muscle exercise, and are a good way to restore the body's balance after high-intensity exercise.

It is generally best to do stretching exercises for 10-15 minutes, with the intensity being enough to make your body feel tight. If you feel pain while stretching, stop exercising immediately. So, here are the steps of stretching exercise:

Neck stretch: First, lie flat on the ground, slowly straighten your torso and keep your feet in contact with the ground, try to stretch your neck, and your eyes can look toward the ceiling.

Jumping stretch: put your legs together and your arms on both sides of your body, then jump up with your feet shoulder-width apart and clap your hands upwards, then jump up and return to the ready position. Perform these two movements alternately, which are good for your arms, legs and torso.

Stretch forward: In order to reduce the generation of leg muscles, people can sit on the floor after exercise and stretch their legs forward, with their backs straight and their torsos bent, trying to touch their toes with their hands.

Shoulder stretch: Bend your right elbow 90 degrees and bring it back to touch your back, then switch to the other hand. Alternating the movements of your hands can help you relax your shoulder and back muscles.

Knee-chest stretch: First, spread your feet apart, then lift your right leg as close to your chest as possible, put your right leg down and do the same exercise with your left leg. Alternating between the two legs can relax the trunk and leg muscles.

Arm stretching: Stretch out both arms horizontally, start to rotate both arms forward, and then switch to the opposite direction, which can fully relax the shoulder muscles.

Tips:

It is very necessary to stretch after exercise, which not only protects the muscles and helps them return to a balanced state quickly, but also helps people shape a perfect body shape.

I believe that after reading the above article, all friends have a new understanding of how to relax after exercise. I also hope that everyone will do a good job of warming up before exercise so that exercise will not put a burden on the body. However, you should not increase the amount of exercise arbitrarily in pursuit of exercise results, as this will definitely cause certain damage to the body's muscles.
