A member asked:
After an intense workout, can you shower immediately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should wait a bit: Sweating is a way your body cools down..Intensive training generates significant amount of heat internally...Thus sweating/proper cooling is important. Showering may cool the skin too quickly and stop the sweating too prematurely...
