After a hard workout or an intense exercise our bodies become sore. This could last for up to a week. Some muscle soreness happens when you are working one muscle for a long period of time.
Here are some tips to help recover from muscle soreness.
1. You can do exercises that are low intensity. By doing this, your body has a better ability to relax. After your workout or training, do some cardio exercises for 15 minutes very slowly. You could go for a walk around a track or at the park for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. It is good to utilize a protien shake after every training to "refuel" your batteries and bring important nutrients to your body that will help reduce muscle soreness that may occur the next day. I have begun to use Visalus for my protien shakes. As I use this more, I will share my experiences and "recipes" for some delicious shakes!!

3. Drink. Drink a lot of water. A good water source is one that has electrolytes. Which has calcium, sodium and magnesium; all are important elements for mescle recovery.
4. Massages. Getting a massage will increase blood circulation. This will help you with post-workout and reduce the level of lactic acid formed in muscles.
5. Sleep. Get enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours a night or more. Remember, your muscles are growing when you are resting, not when you are training.
6. Intake large amounts of Vitamin C. This will help reduce bad cholesterol and also reduce muscle pain or cramps.
7. Shower. Taking a hot-cold shower after you get home allows your muscles to recieve more nutrients. Also, during the winter, a nice warm shower can help prevent you from getting colds.
