Whats your post exercise routine?

I appreciate this differs depending on what exercise you're doing but after a good run or cycle on the Weekend i usually follow this. (please let me know if i'm missing anything)

 

I normaly stretch for a good 10-15 mins before hitting the shower.  At the end of the shower i turn off the hot water and give me legs a good blast of the cold for about 5 mins.  I'll then change and use the foam roller on my hamstrings, quads, and calves.

After consuming some food and fluids i normally take an ibuprofen before icing any sore areas.  Finally i take a nap if it's not too late to help my body on it's recovery.


I'm not an epxert but by follwoing the above i've significantly reudced how much i ache the following day.


What do you think?
