Ok, so when the samples of this full body suit came in to the office, we were a little skeptical. And when the directions said you have to wear it for 24 hours post workout, our immediate reaction was "yeah, right!" But we're all getting a little older and our bodies are much slower to bounce back from those Saturday afternoon pick-up games, so we thought we'd give the Recharge a shot.
And honestly after having spent some time with the Recharge suit, we're totally buying what Under Armour is selling. Granted we never wore for the suit for the full 24 hour period and we did encounter some ridicule from significant others, but the suit left us feeling less sore and ready to get back out on the field.
This compression suit essentially hugs the body, helping to prevent water from getting into recovering muscles. This lets them heal and recover much more quickly.
I guess it is based on science after all. From Under Armour's site:
"Dr. William Kraemer led a study pitting Recharge against loose garments. After performing hardcore strength & conditioning workouts, college athletes wore Recharge vs. the loose stuff for 24 hours. Dr. Kraemer's team ran a battery of tests on the athletes, and the results were clear: Recharge makes you feel better, stronger, and more energized. The loose stuff doesn't."
Our final thought: Under Armour's Recharge Suit - looks ridiculous, but it really works and is easy to hide under your everyday clothes.
