Stretching can strain cold muscles leading to injuries

 Warm up, not stretch: Stretching can strain cold muscles leading to injuries. Rather, opt for a warm up like skipping rope or jogging. They will prepare your body for the strenuous physical activities awaiting you.

POST WORKOUT

Static stretching: Static stretching is the stretching of a muscle to its furthest point for about 15-20 seconds. Just because pre-workout stretch is not recommended, it does not mean you cannot stretch altogether. In fact, post workout stretch can cool down your body.

Hydration for restoration: Just as important it is to hydrate pre-workout, so is post-workout hydration, to replace the water lost through sweat.

Foam rollers over painkillers: An intense workout session can leave your muscles sore but that should not encourage you to give into painkillers. Painkillers can be hazardous to health if taken for a long period of time. Instead, try a foam roller: a cylindrical lightweight foam known used to relieve muscle soreness.

Staying in sweaty clothes: Change out of your sweaty clothes as soon as possible after working out to keep away from fungus and acne.

Don't waste your workout: Keeping in shape requires strong will power which requires keeping away from temptations like a perfect piece of chocolate cake. Those sweet devious temptations can comfort you temporarily, but erase all your hard work and make you feel guilty later on. Therefore, keep track of your calorie intake and enjoy your food in moderation.
