Something I've been doing the last couple of months, initially as an aid to metabolism and fat burning, is to have a long, HOT soak in the tub after working out.
But thinking about it more...
You know when you're exposed to cold, your capillaries close and blood flow is restricted from going to the surface of your body/extremities...? The opposite is also true... When your over heating, your body tried cooling off by sweating and opening blood flow to the extremities.
So my theory is...
After workout, CBL and protein intake, I'll have my bath to help blood flow and shuttle nutrients around my body, relax overworked muscles and soothe sore joints.
Dunno of it'll actually accomplish this or not.... But if feels great!
