POST-WORKOUT

TIPS TO SPEED

UP RECOVERY

We all love that post-gym high, riding the wave of endorphins for a few
hours and taking pride in our accomplishment. The trouble is, after

a while, that dreaded sense of fatigue sets in. You wake up the next
morning, everything hurts, and you can barely walk. Some mornings, it
seems it would take a team of Clydesdales to drag you back to the gym.

It doesn’t have to be that way! There are plenty of real-world solutions to
help you maintain that “yeah, I did that” high throughout the week. Check

out these gym-recovery tips from The Vitamin Shoppe, America’s premier
supplier of nutritional supplements, vitamins and herbs. With these
strategies, you’ll be back on that endorphin horse again in no time.
