Two workouts in a busy day — what's one 10–15 minute recovery habit you actually use?
Say you do a short run or yoga in the morning and plan an evening gym session, but have a long commute, meetings, or family tasks between. What one 10–15 minute recovery habit do you actually use to stop soreness or low energy before the second session? Be specific (snack, nap, stretch, foam roll, etc.).

Try a 10–15 min “mini‑recovery”: 5–7 min of easy mobility + brief foam rolling for the muscles you’ll use, then a 5–8 min protein+carb snack (aim ~15–25 g protein and ~20–40 g carbs) — examples: 150 g yogurt + banana, a small paneer/toast sandwich, or a whey shake + fruit. Hydrate. If you need extra alertness, 50–100 mg caffeine ~20–30 min before the gym. Mobility reduces stiffness; protein supports muscle repair; naps help alertness but can affect night sleep.
