Today, we’re going to compare cold showers vs. hot showers for muscle recovery. Surprisingly, cold therapy can slow down the benefits of exercise! In cases of overtraining, swelling, or pain, cold therapy can be beneficial.

While cold therapy may not be the best for muscle recovery, there are many cold shower benefits, such as improved cognitive and immune function.

Hot showers provide more muscle relaxation, blood flow, and oxygen. They relax the parasympathetic nervous system and can improve sleep quality by 20%. A hot shower is a better option for a muscle recovery shower.

For both cold water and hot shower benefits, you can do both! This creates vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation, increasing blood flow to your muscles.

Here are some great ways to enhance muscle recovery:
•Sauna followed by cold immersion therapy
•Foam roller 10 minutes after exercise
•Get 8 hours of sleep
•Test DNA for optimal exercise and recovery plan

Intermittent hypoxic training is one of the best things you can do for muscle recovery. This type of training involves restricting oxygen flow by using an air restriction mask or holding your breath.

Intermittent hypoxic training mimics the effects of endurance training! It’s performed by elite athletes worldwide. It mimics a high-altitude environment, strengthens the metabolism, enhances muscle growth, and decreases inflammation. It also increases growth hormone, which has fat-burning, anti-aging, and muscle-building properties.
