Forget the intensity of your workout, are you tough enough to embrace the horrors of the recovery methods?! 

Forget the subtle spa music and gentle Swedish kneading, would you grimace through a pummeling sports massage if it meant your aches and pains would disappear more quickly?

Seen those Olympians proudly displaying their cupping badges of honor? Would you embrace those same heated glass cups, if it meant a return to full strength in time for the weekend pick-up basketball game?

In this first of two episodes on recovery methods, our WTYT? duo take a look at cupping and various types of massage before considering the raging debate around “getting cold” in next week's part two.
