Before exercising, you should warm up to prevent muscle stiffness. Just like warming up, after exercising you should also cool down. However, most people skip this step and immediately engage in other activities. Cooling down after exercising is actually very important for body recovery.
When cooling down after exercising, it is recommended to walk leisurely for 5 minutes. This is because the body has exerted energy and the muscles have been working hard. This method can help eliminate fatigue faster and aid in the body's recovery.
2. Engaging in Heavy Work

Some people may have engaged in heavy work after exercising. However, this habit is not advisable. This is because after exercising, the muscles in the body are already fatigued and some muscle tissues may have been damaged.
If you immediately engage in heavy work without resting first after exercising, it can cause muscle injuries. This can also happen to those who continue exercising despite muscle fatigue. Therefore, if you want to continue with heavy work, it is recommended to take a break for a few hours.
3. Delaying Eating After Exercise

Are you one of those people who finish their morning exercise but don't have time to eat breakfast? Well, if that has become a habit, it can actually cause problems. Getting used to not eating for a few hours after exercise, your body doesn't have energy reserves to use. However, the body still needs nutrients. Therefore, it is advisable to eat after 15-30 minutes after exercising.
If you always have this bad habit, it can trigger low blood sugar and make you feel dizzy, and another impact is that the muscles won't form properly and can cramp. That's why, from now on, avoid delaying eating after exercise.
4. Delaying Drinking After Exercise

Just like skipping meals, sometimes people also let their bodies dehydrate or delay drinking. However, during exercise, fluids in the body are lost. These lost fluids need to be replaced quickly. But if you let your body dehydrate, you will feel tired or sleepy even though you have enough sleep.
Therefore, body fluids are so important for the brain to function optimally in order to maintain body balance. So, from now on, don't delay drinking after exercise.
5. Don't Change Clothes Immediately

Another bad habit that is often done by some people is not immediately changing clothes after exercising. In fact, using the same clothes for a long time while exercising is a mistake that should be eliminated immediately.
Using clothes that are wet with sweat can have an impact on the body in the form of body temperature that is not suitable for recovery. This problem can also have an impact on your skin health.
Those are a series of bad habits that should be avoided after exercising. So, from now on, leave those bad habits behind. Hopefully, it's beneficial.
