Whether you lift, run, hike or chase kids around the yard, the hours after you move matter. A few simple habits can help you feel ready for your next session instead of stiff and sore.
1. Cool down for 5 to 10 minutes
Don't stop cold. Walk, spin easy or do light movement to let your heart rate come down gradually.
2. Hydrate
Drink water during and after your workout. On long or sweaty days, consider something with electrolytes.
3. Stretch while you're warm
Hold gentle stretches for 20 to 30 seconds for the muscles you worked: calves, hamstrings, quads, hips, chest and shoulders.
4. Apply your recovery stick
Twist up the Recovery Stick and glide it onto your calves, quads, shoulders or knees. It pairs arnica, a mountain flower athletes have used for generations, with 1,000 mg of hemp seed oil. Because it's a stick, you can do it right in the locker room without greasy hands.
Your gym bag essential. The Recovery Stick is 3 oz, travel-friendly and lasts 3–6 months with daily use.

Within a couple of hours, eat a meal with protein and carbohydrates to help your body bounce back.
6. Sleep
Most of your recovery happens overnight. Aim for 7 to 9 hours, and try a calming routine with lavender, like our Calm Stick, to wind down.
Like hot and cold?
The Frozen Heat Stick cools first with menthol, then warms with capsaicin. Great on your back, shoulders and knees after leg day or yard work.
