Recovery is a key part of improving performance, staying consistent, and feeling your best. At LP, we offer several recovery options to help your body rest, repair, and prepare for your next workout. Whether you are looking to recover faster, reduce muscle fatigue, or simply unwind after a workout, these recovery options are available to help support your training and overall health.
Sauna x Recovery
Recovery is just as important as the workout itself. A recent study on post-exercise recovery found that a single 20-minute sauna session after heavy resistance training helped reduce muscle soreness and better preserve explosive performance compared to passive rest. Athletes also reported feeling more recovered the following day, and the sauna did not negatively impact overnight nervous system recovery. These findings suggest that incorporating sauna sessions after intense strength workouts may be a simple and effective way to support overall recovery.
Benefits of sauna use:
- Decreased soreness
- Increased circulation
- Enhanced relaxation and nervous system regulation
- Preservation of explosive performance
- Stress reduction
- Increased sleep
- Cardiovascular effect
- Hemoglobin increase
Contraindications
While the sauna can be a useful tool here are some cases where you want to avoid the sauna:
- Pregnancy
- Diabetes
- Uncontrolled / severe cardiovascular disease
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Acute infection
- Severe dehydration
- Recent heat stroke
Cold Plunge x Recovery
A cold plunge involves immersing the body in chilled water, which triggers strong physiological responses like increased norepinephrine and energy expenditure that can help reduce inflammation and support recovery. Sauna therapy, on the other hand, uses heat to expand blood vessels, improve circulation, promote muscle relaxation, and activate heat shock proteins that aid tissue repair.
Benefits of cold plunge:
- Reduced muscle soreness
- Decreased inflammation and swelling
- Faster perceived recovery
- Improved circulation
- Nervous system regulation
- Mental resilience
- Immune support
- Improved sleep
- Pain modulation
Contraindications
While the cold plunge can be a useful tool here are some cases where you want to avoid the cold plunge:
- Pregnancy
- Raynaud’s Disease
- Bradycardia (low heart rate)
- Diabetes
- Uncontrolled / severe cardiovascular disease
- Peripheral vascular disease
