What should you do to recover after a workout?
user
I’m not sure what you’re asking for, but I can offer a few things to consider.
assistant
Go ahead. I'm listening.
user
Well, how does your body feel after a workout? What sort of physical, mental and emotional reactions are you experiencing?
assistant
Tired and dehydrated, probably.
user
That’s probably the best thing to do for right now.  It sounds like you’re experiencing some fatigue.  Your body wants a rest.  The energy it had to work hard on your workout will be used in recovering from the workout.
assistant
Um...why don't you give me some suggestions on what I can do to help me recover.
user
Ok, here are some things that you can do. You can stretch out the body parts you used during the workout. You can also rest and sit down, which will keep the body from using energy to do things.
assistant
Don't forget to drink water to rehyrdate.
user
Yes, water is a great idea to help you recover.
assistant
Anything else before I go?
