Try to make time each day to stretch. Ease into your stretches - hold for a few counts - deepen with each exhale of breath and repeat. Try to hit up all major joints and muscles that most people find tight - shoulders, spine, hips & hamstrings.

Drink Water! Water increases your circulation and comfort in muscles. I like to drink flavored water so I opt for something like HINT which has no preservatives and is calorie free.

Follow a diet that includes plenty of protein. Protein helps to rebuild muscles after injury or overwork.

Know the difference between muscle soreness and muscle injury so you can treat accordingly, I like to alternate between hot and cold for optimum relief.

Follow your workout with a walk or light jog. I also suggest using a cold pack to place on muscles, I love TheraPearl’s Sports Pack because it molds to my muscles and stays cold for only 20 minutes so you don’t overexpose your muscles.

Following your workout and cool down it’s a good idea to warm your muscles back up. Again I use my TheraPearl Sports Pack, easily convertible from cold to hot in the microwave.

Always treat yourself to a day off from your workout regimen, you deserve it! I usually have a nice relaxing day or treat myself to a massage.
