Especially if it’s as cold as my pool!

And I’m all about pulling off the compression socks or tights under your clothes.

I embrace my inner 2-year-old and just goof off in the pool. This is particularly good after a long run or hard-core weight session… 30 min to and hour of goofing off in the pool gets tired muscles out of gravity and helps them relax.

(I’m betting this one would be pretty useless after a swim)

And I used to teach in my compression socks

That’s a great one! I learned that on in yoga years ago and it does wonders for tired feet too!!

Gravity does a nice job of relieving pressure and draining the lactic acid – pretty much the same principle as compression socks (which i also love).
