No matter what activity you choose, its not uncommon to have sore muscles after a good workout. Here are 5 studied and proven ways to minimize muscle soreness post workout. How many have you tried? Which are most effective for you? I know I should use my foam roller more but I resist it because of the discomfort initially. It does work wonders though. Ok – here are the 5:
1 – Eating tart cherries. Yes, really
2 – Caffeine pre workout.
3 – Post workout massage
4 – Foam rolling (post workout – like a self administered massage)
5 – Light recovery workout (20 mins) after higher intensity workouts like spin or lifting.
