A new year means new fitness goals. But if you're training all day and working
out too, your body might need some TLC in the form
of ice, heat, and stretching. The reason why you want to utilize ice
is a lot of times when you're out there running and performing while in your service,
you can be creating inflammation. Inflammation is swelling around the joints
and is also indicated by a sharp type pain. So the correct application of ice is going
to be approximately 15 to 20 minutes per hour, and you can do that two or three times throughout
the day in order to decrease that inflammation.
Later, after the inflammation has been decreased, you're going to want to use heat to bring
blood back into that area because after the inflammation goes away,
usually the individual is going to feel stiff and sore.
