Soreness 101

In light of yesterday's antics, today's post is about taking care of your sore muscles. 
Some believe that tylenol or ibuprofen are the key, or maybe a deep muscle massage!
Where I'm not denying that I would LOVE a massage, realistically, it's
not something I can do once a week or even once a month!
I'm not a pill pusher, nor do I avoid them, but I'm not really into popping pills every day.

So, what do I do to get rid of my soreness?

I hit the gym again the very next day!

Even if it's only to walk on a treadmill easily for 30 minutes, it's the quickest and easiest
way to get rid of the soreness AND I'm burning calories!
Double Bonus!
Finish up with a really nice stretch or a yoga class and your body will thank you tomorrow!

So when you are hurting, don't get lazy, but get moving!

ENJOY!

Pin This: Yoga for Weightloss

Yoga for Weightloss
This originally came from an article in Prevention, and I'm telling you, Yoga is great, but these 
moves make it a little more challenging, which I LOVE! Here are my favorites:
Chaturanga Push-ups

Bridge with Leg Lift

Downward Dog to Knee Tap

Reverse Warrior to Side Angle

Warrior III with Crunch

These moves are really great and really engage the core! I love the stretching aspect  the moves also,
and you will feel your muscles go crazy with the challenging moves! Big Fan!

ENJOY!
