Speed up recovery?

[jago25_98]

I've just moved to my parents for about 15 days.
Joined a gym so I want to make the most of it, going say, once or twice a day (plenty of time free .

However, if I do that there's no time for my muscles to recover.

How can I speed up recovery or use the time best?

i dont know about speeding up recovery, but are you taking a post workout shake to assist recovery?

 

[jago25_98]

not doing anything special at the moment.

how do I make these shake things then?

just buy some protein powder and blend with milk immedately after you workout.

if u cant afford protein powder try a shake made by blending fruit honey strawberries nuts yoghurt and ice cream.

or just eat a protein food.

"fruit honey strawberries nuts yoghurt and ice cream."

^ are you sure that's high protein?

 

[abear]

you could do some whey protein in gatorade. thats what i'm trying now.

i did dextrose then maltodextrin and did fine with my recovery

having something small that is high on the glycemic index can increase your recovery time up to 200% ... if taken within 15 minutes of finishing your workout ... drops dramatically after that till it becoming a detrament after about 30-45 minutes.

just eat something nice, nice. Shouldn't be too hard
