Introducción
Tired after a long walk? We share with you some rest techniques that help the body recover quickly.
Make it progressive
Before you sit down to rest, take a walk! As you slowly rest, you adjust your pulse, body temperature, and muscles to a natural resting position. On the other hand, when you have a sudden rest, your body prevents blood from flowing through your legs, and it can also cause dizziness. It is enough to walk 5-10 minutes for the body to adjust to a state of rest.

stretch
Extension exercises lasting 30 seconds help the circulation of blood through the body. If you want to reduce muscle pain as much as possible, one of the best ways to do this is to stretch your muscles. This also has the benefit of improving flexibility, and range of motion. Clearly, the stretches will need to be directed toward the areas of the body that are most worn out after finishing

.Eat within 45 minutes
Studies show that the sooner we eat, the sooner our body recovers. To get the most out of this recommendation, you need to incorporate protein and carbohydrates for muscle repair and restore glycogen levels. Glycogen is a form of long-term energy storage. With this in mind, if you take part in multi-day hikes, it's especially important to take care of your glycogen levels for a higher level of

Although it is true that we tend to consume water during a walk, most people still have a water consumption deficit at the end. This trend is further exacerbated when it's cold and at high elevations. Studies show that muscle repair can decrease by up to 50% when muscles don't get enough hydration

.Massage your muscles
Massage has been cited as the primary tool for reducing hypersensitivity in muscles. Best of all, you don't need to hire a professional service, you just need to massage yourself with a foam roller or even a tennis ball. It is recommended to massage a muscle area for a minimum duration of 30 seconds

.Apply heat to get the blood flowing
the same way, many people tend not to know the difference between cold and heat in their muscles. Cold helps with muscle inflammation while heat encourages blood flow to sore muscles. In other words, unless you have inflamed parts of your body, it is recommended to apply heat
.sleep
Sleep is vital for the body to achieve muscle recovery and repair. However, it is necessary to avoid any type of distraction or to limit external factors that prevent uninterrupted rest. Extensive research shows that people will still be tired the next day if they don't reach REM sleep.
