Swimming is a fantastic full-body workout, engaging nearly every muscle group while providing a low-impact yet highly effective form of exercise. But what happens after you leave the water is just as crucial as the workout itself. A well-planned post-swim ritual can enhance recovery, improve performance, and protect against injury. Let’s shed light on the science behind warming up after swimming and the importance of refuelling with the proper nutrients. At Chief , we have the best practical tips to recharge your body and mind.

When you exit the water, your core temperature drops rapidly due to evaporative cooling. So what’s the best thing to do after a swim? Layer Up Immediately! Our favourite solution is t...

Hey there, ladies! Are you constantly feeling foggy, drained, or just plain exhausted? You’re not alone. In fact, 1 in 4 Australian women are low in iron—a staggering statistic that could be the root of your fatigue. According to the Australian Health Survey, 23% of women aren’t getting enough iron from their diets, while The Medical Journal of Australia reports that 22.3% have depleted iron stores. That’s millions of women struggling with energy loss without even realizing why.

Without enough of it, your energy tanks, and you’re left dragging yourself through the day. Shockingly, up to 48% of women who seem perfectly fine are actually iron deficient. So if you're feeling off, it might not be "just life"—it could be low iron. The Natural Solution: Beef Liver Capsules Instead of turning to synthetic pills that often cause nausea or co...
