Recovering from a workout

[JanetP 17,493]

What are the best methods you guys have found to help in recovering from an intense workout?  Hydration, electrolytes, carbs, protein and/or a combination of all?  I have recently increased my activity level and find that I am a "noodle" the day after.  Just weak, wobbly, and tired.  Adding a few carbs beforehand seems to help and more water and electrolytes afterward, but I would like to hear what works for others.

 

Thanks.

Electrolytes seem to do the trick for me.

Same here, I was at the noodle stage as well and electrolytes after working out, no more noodle

I would listen to my body, while working out, and not push myself past my endurance point.  And I would never exercise if I was tired because that is how we injure ourselves.  Watch your reps, be consistent, and take 'ur easy.  I use to work out on Nautilus equipment when I was in college about 30 years ago.  Those were the days.
