    It's not going to be necessary in every case. It depends on how intense and for how long you trained and also the tempeerature and humidity have an effect. Do you feel excessive stiffness and or cramping in your muscles shortly afterward or you alright to move around after a workout?

    How long do you training for. The only time I use anything other than water or a sports drink is after 5 or 6 hours, or if I'm heat training where I would train in thermals with the temp at some where between 25-30 degrees. Check you urine as a guide, "if its is brown you water is down, if its clear and bright your water is right".
