Get Squeezed

More and more sports clothing with compressive qualities are appearing on the market. Unlike the Shake Weight and "toning shoes" ( neither of which perform as advertised), several recent peer-reviewed scientific studies support the efficacy of compression clothing.

What does compression do? It can help blood flow, reduce the inflammatory respone post-exercise, reduce decrements in muscle strength and function, reduce edema, expedite the removal of cellular debris, and provide a "dynamic cast" which helps muscle recovery.

I regularly wear compression shirts, socks, and the whole-body  UA Recharge(TM) compression suit after workouts. I experience less DOMS and feel fully recovered much more quickly.

I recommend compressive garments immediately following exercise ( yes, after your shower, of course) for a minimum of 3 hours, preferably longer.

Go get squeezed! It will get you back to 100% more quickly.
