Accelerating Athletic Workout Recovery

For those who work out to their peak at the gym, in sports training or getting ready to run a marathon, they know that the biggest key to becoming better is to accelerate their athletic workout recovery time. It is a fine line, in that if you work out hard every day and even when you are very sore your body does not have time to rebuild and you continually tear down your muscles.

Quick recovery times are a matter of smart workouts, limberness, blood flow, proper diet and attitude, but still athletes want an edge. In fact some go out of their way to take steroids or an unethical edge to get to where they need to be. Others blur the line with so many supplements that they could be considered borderline on the ethical curve. Yet in the end if you want to get better you must press on and try to reduce that recovery time to get your muscles ready for the next strenuous work out or competition.

I believe there might be another way to do this that could increase muscle build and recovery while you sleep and I have been trying it out myself. How so you ask? Well, by dreaming of running a 10K race I notice that I often wake up with a sweat and somewhat fatigued as if I had actually been running? Wow, interesting indeed. Now then what if we induce brain waves, which would simulate this while dreaming and keep the workout to just beyond ability. This would cause the brain to trigger chemicals in the body to feed the muscles the nutrients needed to for the normal rebuilding or workout recovery.

If you body is properly hydrated before you go to sleep and your diet was correct you could in fact be fully recovered by the next day? Interesting thought indeed. So, consider this in 2006.
