After training, many people think that they need to do some special exercises to reduce pain. This is a big misconception!
Stretching or yoga will not reduce muscle pain after a workout.
If you like doing some stretching movements, you can do them. But it doesn’t matter which ones, says Natalia Blinova .
The fact is that the pain will increase the day after the workout. During the load, muscle fibers were damaged, local inflammation formed. To reduce this pain, no special exercises are needed.
The first “exercise” is sufficient sleep. Do not neglect it. 6-8 hours of healthy sound sleep is what will reduce muscle pain after training and will promote their rapid recovery.
The second “exercise” is proper nutrition. Do not neglect meals. Eat enough protein to recover as quickly as possible and again reduce inflammation. Remove fast carbohydrates from the diet, sweets to the maximum. Let sweets not exceed 10-15% of the daily food intake.
Well, the third so-called “exercise” that will help relieve pain after training is not to skip training. Because when you train regularly, the muscles adapt to the loads and the pain becomes less.
