I am pretty sure SORENESS is an experience everyone goes through. Some of us more than others. Â It is a normal experience post-workout. Should it happen after every workout? No. But part of the time? Yes. Â So when it comes to the muscle recovery process, we need to know some things to help us battle the soreness. Â Especially when it is post-leg-day soreness (i.e. waddling around like a penguin & being in anguish while trying to pop a squat on the toilet seat).Â
Here are the best ways to improve muscle recovery when sore:
- Stretch & Foam roll to improve flexibility and muscle elasticity
- Get a Massage every once in awhile to work through tension and improve muscle balance
- Eat within 30min of your workout to replenish and repair- Carbs & Protein
- Do some light cardio to stimulate blood flow and provide an active recovery
- Drink BCAA’s towards the end of your workout to speed up recovery
- Have a good sleeping pattern that is consistent
