Read on to arm yourself against any unintended backtrack.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Immediate No-No\u2019s<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>1. You<strong> Rush Out Of The Gym<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We get it, you have places to be, and after tossing around heavy weights or ramping up your heart rate on the tread, the last thing you want to do is <em>more<\/em> work. But sticking around for a few extra minutes of mobility drills can really pay off in the long run, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/seandthrive.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sean De Wispelaere<\/a>, master trainer at MBSC Thrive and owner of Sean D. Thrive.<\/p>\n<p>When you push, pull, squat, and hinge, you put a high demand on your joints and the muscles that surround them, says De Wispelaere. Mobility work\u2014like sitting in a deep squat or moving your arms through Y-, T-, and W-shaped patterns\u2014helps you maintain your full range of motion and avoid injury when it counts.<\/p>\n<p>By increasing the flow of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to your muscles and connective tissues, they\u2019ll also prevent that stiff, locked-up feeling that sometimes follows a tough workout, says De Wispelaere.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. You Stay Jacked Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not only does working out tax your muscles, but it also taxes your nervous system. During exercise, your sympathetic (\u2018fight-or-flight\u2019) nervous system kicks in to power you through\u2014but to recover, you need your parasympathetic (\u2018rest and relax\u2019) nervous system to take over, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joedowdell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joe Dowdell<\/a>, strength coach and owner of Dowdell Fitness Systems.<\/p>\n<p>To shift gears from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic state, Dowdell recommends doing some light <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/12\/post-workout-stretch-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stretching<\/a> and diaphragmatic breathing after training. As you hold each stretch, take a few slow and controlled deep belly breaths. This tells your system to calm down and sets you up for muscle-building recovery. If you regularly struggle to cool down and recover after exercise, try a supplement like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/true-athlete-zma-theanine-180-capsules\/vs-6021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">True Athlete\u2019s ZMA With Theanine<\/a>, which contains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/zinc\/N-cp99i9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">zinc<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/magnesium\/N-cp99i6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">magnesium<\/a> to promote muscle recovery and the amino acid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/amino-acids\/N-cp99ic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">l-theanine<\/a> to support relaxation.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. You Don\u2019t Eat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some people feel ravenous after an intense workout, while others can\u2019t even stomach the thought of eating\u2014but food fuels your recovery and progress, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mikeroussell.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Roussell<\/a>, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p>What to eat? Roussell recommends <em>carbs. \u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein\/N-cp99j4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Protein<\/a> is typically the post-workout go-to, but exercise sensitizes your muscles to carbohydrates, so you need those as well,\u201d he says. In the few hours after your workout, your body will use carbs for good (a.k.a. energy storage in your muscles) instead of evil (a.k.a. storage as fat). Replenishing the carbs you store in your muscles (called \u2018glycogen\u2019) helps you recover and feel ready for your next session faster.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>Eat something that contains both protein and carbs after your workouts, whether it\u2019s chicken and rice or a smoothie (made with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein\/N-cp99j4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein powder<\/a>, fruit, and yogurt or oats), or a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/build-muscle-exercise-workout-support-protein-bars-snacks\/N-7v2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protein bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. You Try To Annihilate All Inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We usually think of inflammation as the enemy, and in many cases it can be a sign that something is wrong\u2014\u201cbut when exercise produces an inflammatory state in the body, it\u2019s actually is a good thing,\u201d says Roussell.<\/p>\n<p>You see, exercise is stress, and your high heart rate and muscle fatigue signal to your body that something is up, which triggers an inflammatory state. \u201cHowever, one of the ways your body gets bigger and stronger is by dealing with that inflammation,\u201d says Roussell. So while you might be tempted to down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/antioxidants\/N-cp99id\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">antioxidant<\/a> supplements right after hitting it hard, these substances can potentially hinder your muscle gains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/23\/post-workout-snacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>The Best Post-Workout Snack For Your Fitness Goals<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instead of focusing on blasting your body with antioxidants, focus on replenishing your body with carbs and protein, recommends Roussell.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Same-Day Mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. You Stew in Your Sweaty Clothes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sweat can feel like a badge of honor, but <em>please<\/em> get out of your gear ASAP. Otherwise you\u2019re more prone to skin issues like rashes and staph infections, not to mention B.O.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/workout-101-essentials\/N-cp9a01\"

Dowdell. Soaking in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/22\/epsom-salt-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Epsom salt<\/a> bath (which is rich in magnesium sulfate) can promote relaxation and help reduce <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/joint-muscle-support-muscle-soreness\/N-7yq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">muscle soreness<\/a>, he says. Mix about a cup in with your bath water and soak for up to a half hour. You don\u2019t need to hop in the tub right after you\u2019re done sweating; a long soak will still do you good later in the evening.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. You Don\u2019t Catch Enough Zzz\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The hard work you put in at the gym doesn\u2019t transform into results right then and there, but in the hours and days after you finish\u2014and sleep is a key component of that process. \u201cSleep is crucial to recovery and often overlooked,\u201d says De Wispelaere. Since fitness-boosting hormones like growth hormone are released while you\u2019re dreaming, whether or not you get to bed early can really affect your results.<\/p>\n<p>To score high-quality sleep, De Wispelaere recommends the following steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Four hours before bed: Stop consuming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/07\/caffeine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">caffeine<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>One hour before bed: Limit how much you drink. (You don\u2019t want to have to pee in the middle of your muscle-building sleep!)<\/li>\n<li>45 minutes before bed: Ditch the screens. The blue light that emanates from phones and laptops sends the wrong signals to your brain about what time of day it is, potentially keeping you up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Next-Day Mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. You Don&#8217;t Let Yourself Recover<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If an intense workout left you delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), jumping right into another tough session will not only <em>hurt<\/em>, but it can also backfire on your results. Remember what Dowdell said about those sympathetic and parasympathetic states? If you go hard day after day, your body can\u2019t fully shift out of that sympathetic state, and you don\u2019t recover properly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the day after an intense session, stick to 20 to 30 minute low-to-moderate intensity exercise,\u201d he recommends. (That\u2019s about 65 to 70 percent of your max heart rate.) Jogging or biking, for example, boosts blood flow to your muscles and help remove waste products associated with DOMS. For extra points, tack on 10 to 15 minutes of mobility work after your cardio.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Diggin\u2019 What\u2019s Good?
