post-workout
Following physical exertion
Post-workout describes the period immediately following exercise, or things intended for that time: a post-workout protein shake, post-workout soreness.
The term appears constantly in fitness culture, where what you eat, drink, or do after training supposedly matters as much as the workout itself.
