Affordable hot and cold sleeves power fitness recovery journeys

When grown-ups exercise or play sports, their muscles and legs can get sore or hurt.

To feel better, they use special sleeves that wrap around their legs.

Some sleeves are very cold, like ice from the freezer.

A very fancy machine sleeve covers the whole leg and is used by top athletes, but it costs a lot of money, about ₹10,000.

There are cheaper sleeves that you can put in the freezer to make them cold.

You wear them for a few minutes and they help your leg feel less painful.

One writer bought a sleeve for ₹900 that works on the knee and thigh.

You can also buy sleeves for the elbow, calf, or ankle.

The same sleeve can be warmed up in the microwave and used as a warm compress.

Both cold and warm sleeves help people recover after exercise or injuries.
