18 How Do You Deal With Sore Muscles?
After a few days spent running on the treadmill and another few lifting weights, it may be time to give your body a rest. This is especially true if your muscles are feeling tight, sore, and overworked. Instead of succumbing to laziness, use this time to take care of your body by doing things that will help it recover, which will make your future workouts even better! Read more
We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. If your New Year's resolution to get in shape stalled out fast, you might be panicking right about now since bikini season is right around the bend. Making up for lost time with an aggressive workout routine will likely leave you sore, but begging for more once you see your thighs trim down and take form. That burn you Read more
Wouldn't it be nice to end every active week with an intense deep-tissue massage to help ease your muscles? But since we can't always spring for a trip to the spa, here's what we can do — use the foam roll at the gym. You may have seen people in the gym foam rolling and think it's just for serious athletes or gym rats, but that's not the case. But there are many reasons why massaging out the Read more
Motion sickness, tummy problems, and a sore throat: is there anything ginger can't help? Not likely. A new study says that the spicy root also soothes away sore muscles that often come after working out. In two separate studies, researchers divided 74 healthy adults into two groups — one group of participants were given a daily ginger supplement, while the other group was given a placebo. Over Read more
Three nights of late bouldering sessions at the gym, and I feel like a zombie who's been hit by a truck. Sore muscles are never comfortable, but I wear them with a badge of honor knowing I pushed my body a little harder than usual. But days after I have gone a little (or a lot) overboard, relief is definitely in order. Here are my go-to ways of easing sore muscles after an intense workout. Read more
I found a new running buddy in my neighborhood, and let's just say that she's much more hard-core than I. I led her through a leisurely 35-minute run, and the next day, it was her turn to lead. She had us running up every hill in the woodsy trails near our homes. By the end, we had run for over an hour. The next morning I woke up to extremely sore legs and a phone call asking if I was up for Read more
I was lucky enough to go skiing this weekend and take advantage of all the white stuff that's been falling. The snow was fluffy and deep, which made for great runs and a challenging workout. Being in the cold air and zooming down the mountain felt so exhilarating that I skied for a few hours straight. That night, I started feeling sore even before I went to bed, and when I woke up, my muscles Read more
Getting a massage is not always an affordable option to relieve sore muscles. I use The Stick at home but when I'm on the go it's not something I can take with me. Because of its size, a tennis ball provides on the spot muscle relief wherever you are. Here's how I've been using mine: For leg muscles I sit down on the floor with my legs outstretched and place the ball underneath myself where Read more
I love a little bit of post-workout soreness. I wear it like a badge of honor, since I know it means I am becoming stronger. However, there's a difference between a healthy ache and pain that makes it agonizing to brush your hair, take off your bra, laugh, or get into your car. You can prevent this post-workout pain by never getting out of shape (that's my trainer Hannah's philosophy), or you can Read more
The day after a grueling strength-training session or lengthy bike ride always leaves me deliciously sore. Yes, I admit that I love the feeling of sore muscles, but on those days, I often feel like skipping out on exercise. While days of rest are definitely necessary and a great reward for a previous day's hard work, a little soreness is no excuse to ditch the gym entirely. A light workout will Read more
