So Is Es Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I read somewhere that having a hot shower or bath before your winter cycle or run is a good way to pre warm your muscles as well as to increase your hart rate getting you ready quicker + you will be warmer.Any feedback on this.
Cois Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Do not think it works so well. But then again in 2 degrees anything feels cold. And not having enough time between the shower to getting on the bike might be a bit of an issue as well. Biggest problem I have is stepping out of the shower into a 14 degree house. It feels more like a shock to the system

Oh. And just yesterday I read in a reputable source Men's Health that strapping ice packs to your quads / hamstrings during warmup will improve your performance. What will it be tomorrow?
Veebee Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Just spray deep heat all over your body and put on some base layers, that should do the trick

scotty Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Don't tell the pro's this otherwise the standard warm up on rollers will be replaced with this.

porqui Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Is it not only a thin outer layer that warms up and not deeper in your muscles. I was under the impression that the body temp remains at a constant temp.
Vetseun Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 My Gran always told me that you never go out into the cold after a hot bath.And my Gran knew EVERYTHING.
