After workout wellness - tips & tricks
Regular exercise is not only good for the body and your own health, but can also train willpower and fighting spirit. The preparation and follow-up to any sporting activity is just as important as the sport itself. If the body is well prepared for a training session, this prevents injuries and makes the body more flexible for the upcoming strain. The same applies to the follow-up. The exercise can be designed in a variety of ways. From classic stretching exercises to yoga and meditation, to relaxing baths and sauna sessions.
Hot baths and cold showers - both are great for relaxation
After a workout, it's time for a quick shower. You don't want to lug a load of products with you to the gym. How practical that our Dresdner Essenz shower gels work as 2-in-1 products. Mild cleansing substances such as sugar surfactants envelop skin and hair in a delicate foam that thoroughly removes sweat and dirt. The shower gels/shampoos are pH-neutral and therefore do not attack the skin's natural acid mantle.
If you've overdone it with your workout and want to soothe sore muscles, we recommend a warm herbal bath after sport. The warmth of the water combined with essential oils stimulates blood circulation in the skin and has a relaxing effect on the muscles.
A very similar method can be used in summer. So-called cold pools or cold showers help to promote blood circulation in the muscles and ensure faster removal of acidic metabolic products.
Saunas for the immune system
Regular sauna sessions are popular all year round and have been for centuries. These not only help to promote muscle recovery, but also strengthen the immune system.
ultimately, the intensity of your exercise doesn't really matter. The most important thing is to activate and challenge your body regularly. To ensure that you and your body feel good after exercise, targeted recovery is the easiest way to keep doing it.
