End-of-workout warm-down

I’ve been following the standard advice of 5 min. of heat (in the shower) after a PE workout. I was wondering if anyone has tried alternating heat with cold? This is a common physio treatment for injuries and is also used naturopathically to improve circulation and clear out toxins. I started doing it this morning. What do you think?

It was discussed a while back about using ice to cool down while stretched, but as for using cold water instead of warm post session, I dont know if anyones tried it….I dont remember seeing anyone mention it before.

Not instead of, but along with. I.e., cold for a minute, then warm, then cold again, and so on, ending with warm.

Oh right, I’m not aware of anyone trying it. Maybe you should try it, see how it goes :D

Am doing so, as of today…

I don’t know if I could manage that torture :)

You haven’t tried an ADS yet, have you?

I’ll admit warm feels better than cold, but the process isn’t so bad. Doesn’t have to be ice-cold, just cold enough to cause the veins to constrict.
