The feeling of heavy legs is not just for athletes: it also affects people who stand or sit for long hours. Here are five simple habits to build into your day.
1. Raise your legs at the end of the day
Ten minutes with your legs raised above heart level, and the feeling of heaviness often eases on its own.
2. Change position
Staying still, standing or sitting, does not help. Moving regularly, even a few steps every hour, makes a real difference.
3. Drink enough water
Drinking regularly throughout the day is one of the simplest habits to adopt, and one of the most neglected.
4. Use pneumatic compression
Compression boots reproduce the muscle-pumping action of walking, which is especially welcome at the end of the day or after sport.
5. Finish your shower with cool water
A few seconds of cool water on the legs at the end of a shower gives an immediate feeling of lightness.
These habits are easy to fit into daily life and combine well with a more complete recovery routine.
