It is important to get enough sunlight on your skin every day. In a safe way of course. This contributes to good health and also gives your body a nice boost. You will also notice that if you exercise after tanning, you will achieve better sports performance. But there are more reasons why exercise and sunbathing are a good combination. What exactly are those reasons? And is it best to use the sunbed before or after exercising? We will tell you more about this!
Vitamin D
The main reason why it is important to get enough sunlight on your skin is because of the production of vitamin D. This is not only important for strong bones, muscles and teeth, it also contributes to better resistance. In the gym, the production of vitamin D will also have a positive influence. This way your balance is better and you have better reaction time. In addition, you are less likely to sustain an injury and the muscle mass gained will decrease less quickly.
Less stress and muscle pain
Do you use the sunbed after exercising? Then you will notice that you experience less stress and will suffer less from muscle pain. Stress hormones are released when you regularly visit the gym. In combination with sunbathing under the sunbed you can completely relax. In addition, blood circulation improves due to the heat of the tanning bed, so you will experience less muscle pain after exercise.
Sweat as bronzer
Would you like to get a nice tan? Then it is best to use the sunbed after a sports session. The pores of your skin are open, allowing UV light to penetrate deeply. In addition, you get a more intense tan because salt reflects in the sweat. Always use a sunbed cream to protect your skin. At some gyms you can not only take out a sports subscription, but you can also use the sunbed after exercising. How nice is that?
