Regular workout and exercise is an important part of the daily routine for many people. If your workout session ends with tight muscles, pain and a smile, you are doing it right. It is true, an effective and correct kind of exercise makes you drained and exhausted, but it gives successful outcomes at the end. However, sometimes the soreness and pain in muscles get increased and it disturbs your workout regime. This painful condition adds discomfort to your life and health. You need a successful formula to control this pain. Here are a few tricks to increase workout recovery:
Massage Therapy
Visit a massage clinic or spa regularly to avoid pain and soreness in your muscles. Many athletes follow the routine of visiting and taking regular massage per week to fight painful muscles and tenderness in the muscle tissue and joints. A deep tissue massage is helpful to avoid all kinds of pain in 1 or 2 days post high-intensity workout session.
Recovery Workouts
It’s time to chill and perform some light exercises. Do not avoid workouts completely, instead you should take your exercise down to 40-50% and do some light exercises. Recovery workouts stimulate electrical motion in your muscles, boost the blood flow and reinforce your joints. A short and light exercise is effective to deal with pain.
Rest
If you do extensive workout for five to six days in a week, you are not allowing your body for the rest and recovery. You should take a day off from your exercise. Remember, your sore muscles need time to get better.
Drink Plenty of Water
Keep your body hydrated and moistured by drinking plenty of water every day. Good hydration helps in decreasing the risk of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or DOMS. Enough water intake helps to wash out toxins and lactic acid from muscles, averting them from tightening.
A Relaxing Bath
Soaking your body in an Epsom salts mixed lukewarm water helps you feel relaxed. It gives required magnesium to your body and boost faster recovery.
Boost your Protein Intake
Health experts and doctors recommend taking protein shakes after a workout because amino acids assist to repair the injured muscle fibers and reduce pain and swelling. If you do not like having the shakes, you must eat biggest and protein healthiest diet within an hour of the exercise.
Apart from above tips, you should also keep on switching up the exercises, methods and movements so that you do not put pressure only on a few particular muscles.
