Question:

Can i take a bath after doing exercise?

I've heard a lot about this issue, some people say you mustn´t take a bath after doing some work out bacause your muscles are hot and the water is cold...( and some other reasons i dont' remember...); but other people say you should take a bath beacause of the swet in your body and blah blah blah...

so I don't know what to do XD what do you think?
if you can link to your sources...
thnx


Answers:

There is nothing wrong with taking a bath after. here is the theory. When working out your veins dialate, get larger, to allow for more blood flow. the more blood the more oxygen, the larger your muscles get. if you take a really cold bath your veins will constrict, get smaller, and no more blood flow. a warm bath will keep your veins dialated. when you work out the wast your cells produced need to go somewhere. It is lactic acid. If you shrink the vessels then it has nowhere to go and you get that sore feeling. which is why you do a cool down or soak in a hot tub. it also helps the muscles by relaxng them and not allowing them to cramp.
