Take an ice pack or a frozen water bottle and place is on your neck where you’d normally feel for your pulse. This will cool the flow of blood to your face. You can also place it on the back of your neck, or on the inside of your wrists. Works like a charm!
Replenishing your body after a workout is a must. Of course, you’ll want to guzzle down a good amount of cold water, but for your post-workout shake, have something with 20g protein, 90 calories, 0g sugar, and no artificial sweeteners.
Especially when you’re headed back to the office after a midday workout, you’ve gotta keep yourself smelling fresh and professional. Invest in a dry deodorant spray that will eliminate odors and absorb any excess moisture.
After working out, it will help to soak up the moisture from your hair and cover up any oily, sweaty spots. It also smells amazing, so it’ll take that sweat smell right out. You can get a small, travel-sized bottle to stick in your gym bag or purse.
If you’re changing clothes, bring breathable fabrics so that you’re not stepping into stiff, thick clothing. And those smelly gym clothes? Bring a separate plastic bag that you can tie up so the sweat or odor doesn’t get stuck to your gym bag.
After a tough workout, the important thing is to take care of your body so that you can ride that post-workout high all day!
