Workout Tip: A Hot Shower Just Before Working Out Cuts Warm-up Time
Showering Opens Pores & Accelerates Heart Rate Before Workout Starts
Do you work out regularly? Work out at all? Good for you! Keep it up! Don't ever stop!
When you go to work out, do you ever dread the effort of getting warmed up? Hate the uphill slog from cold bones until you finally work up a decent sweat?
Here's a tip: Try taking a hot shower for a few minutes just before working out.
This serves to open your skin's pores, and sends a message to your heart to start ramping up ahead of time for your workout. When you hit the gym you will probably start to sweat right away, and the stress from the hot water will have already gotten your heart rate up also.
Warning: Do not use this as an excuse to shorten your workout. Nothing beats real effort. Consult with your physician before trying this. Do at your own risk. Don't do this if you have any cardiac or vascular condition, or if you're allergic to water!
Have fun! And keep working out!
