Your power levels are at a highest, so make the most of them by going hard and sweating hard. Do lap sprints in the pool (or play team sports like soccer and basketball, which require intense bursts of speed). You can also jump rope for 10 intense 1-minute intervals (with 30 seconds of rest in between).
Loosen up. Take advantage of higher body temperature and do 15 minutes of static stretches to relax. To stretch your hamstrings, hips, and back – areas that tend to get tight after a day in your cubicle – try three sets of the straddle. Sit with your legs wide apart and reach your left arm upward over your head. Lean sideways to the right, over your right leg. Hold for a minute and feel your back stretch all along your left side. Next, release and bend forward, reaching as far as possible with your fingertips. Hold for a minute. Then stretch over your left leg, reaching your right arm up and over to the side. Hold for another minute and release.
