Have you ever noticed a vigorous fitness exercise often comes at a cost -achy sore muscles? If you’re ready to ease the pain with some pre or post workout remedies and prepare for a speedy recovery after a tough workout, this article is for you.

Why daily exercise?

Maybe it’s you or a close friend, who rises every day at 6 am practically jumping out of bed, lacing up their sneakers and heading out the front door for a crisp morning jog or cross-training routine. For many this is hard to understand and for others they know first-hand how beneficial exercising is for that feel-good feeling and the benefits during stressful times. In a nutshell, when we exercise regularly, we increase the neurotransmitters that reduce anxiety and feel more content, satisfied, and happy.

If you’re trying to structure your workout, so you crave the gym, start with something fun or with a workout buddy. We all know habit forming requires commitment and dedication day after day. Sounds easy enough until we’re heading home from the gym and experience more than that feel good sensation -muscle pain.

Sore muscle treatments

1. For starting with a clear mind and focused, a soak in a hot tub before and after a workout is like a soothing reset button for your body from stiffness and overload. A pre-soak before an exercise activity is known for reducing work-related stressors or anxiety. Thus, becoming more focused and the increasing performance of your wellness routine.
2. When you are experiencing fitness-related muscle soreness, try a gentle walk, or a few stretches. Then hop into a soothing hot tub for a warm massage that will clear your mind while your body relaxes and benefits from the healing and recovery process.
3. Staying hydrated during a workout is very important as a lack of hydration may increase inflammation and muscle soreness after exercise.
4. To prevent unnecessary muscle pain, make sure you are working out in the correct body posture and form.
5. A message is an excellent treatment for sore muscles and pain relief. You can get a professional massage; however, if your muscles are too painful, you may not want anyone touching you. If that is the case, you only have two options: You give yourself a massage with a massage stick or foam roller. Or, a soak in a warm hot tub, preferably one with adjustable jets allowing your sore muscles to relax and stretch -relieving you from unwanted tension.
