Sore muscles? Here's how to combat muscle soreness NOW! 💪

We all love a great workout but the soreness after can be a bittersweet feeling. Here’s 10 easy ways to combat your sore muscles:

1. Get enough sleep after working out - your muscles need to relax after a tough workout

2. Stay hydrated during and after a workout - dehydration can make muscle soreness worse

3. Apply IcyHot or Bengay to relieve muscle soreness - be sure your skin is dry when applying

4. Advil or any other anti-inflammatory - anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil and Alleve can help relieve the discomfort of muscle soreness. It's not advisable to use NSAIDS on a consistent basis, but rather for an acute bout of soreness.

5. Stretching and Foam rolling - directly after a workout and the next day.

7. Baths - can be hot with epson salt or cold like an ice bath

8. Get your potassium - eat a banana after a workout.

9. Take a fish oil daily to promote healthy joints

10. Stay active! Simply walk or move around constantly so your muscles don’t cramp or tighten up when sitting or lying down!
