Essentials for Sore Muscles

Essentials for Sore Muscles

• Drink lots of water. Hydration is key. Keep those muscles hydrated; it can keep muscle cramping at bay.
• Foam rolling has become a rest-day or after-a-tough-workout necessity for me.
•  A warm-up before workouts and stretching after all workouts is, in my opinion, a great help to reduce muscle soreness and for faster recovery from workouts.
• Massages are a great self-care for stress, mental and physical health.
• Epson salts baths are a great way to relax tight muscles.
• Nutrition goes hand in hand with working out. Getting enough proteins, carbohydrates, and good fats in your diet will help nourish your body and muscles.
• If you are going to exercise with sore muscles, try low impact activities like walking, yoga, pilates, or other restorative exercises.
