Preventing Muscle Pain

September 9, 2016 · Filed under Exercise Tips

Every serious exerciser knows the unpleasant muscle pain that comes a day or two after a big workout. How can we avoid this pain while still working our body effectively? The secret lies in the warm-up and cool-down phases of our routine. Be sure to stretch and heat your body before strength training, so it will be warm and supple. Then stretch again after the activity, and use heat (a hot bath is ideal) to relax the muscles again. Not only will this prevent muscle pain, it will leave you feeling clean and refreshed after your workout!
