Delayed onset muscle soreness, also known as DOMS, can happen after a workout and cause sore muscles that may reduce your range of motion for up to two days. ✌️
While you may be slightly uncomfortable, it’s actually a positive sign that your muscles are working properly and getting used to your new activity or exercise. 💪
REDUCING MUSCLE SORENESS:
1️⃣Although you may not have guessed it, MORE exercise helps to relieve DOMS. However, make sure it’s something gentle like light cardio or yoga a day or so after your DOMS inducing exercise. 🧘
2️⃣ Warm up your muscles for 5 minutes longer than you usually do before your next workout.
3️⃣ Stay hydrated! It’s important to drink plenty of water on days you work out and days you don’t. 🫗
4️⃣ Give each muscle group adequate time to recover. There’s no need to work out your legs several days in a row. Instead, focus on legs one day, followed by shoulders, then core.
