Beat Muscle Soreness for Good

As you exercise, your main goal is to invoke a significant change in your body that will trigger your body to adapt to this change. Change is good and adaptation is what produces results.

Exercise training can have multitude of factors. A few are when you exercise, you can change the level of resistance you are using such as increasing the weight. You can change the level of stability your are using, such as switching from barbell movement to dumbell movement and you can decrease the amount of rest interval between sets. These factors are just a few that I will mention in this exercise article.

With new exercise training factors, come new muscle soreness.

To beat muscle soreness follow these three exercise recovery steps. You can start these right away to get best exercise recovery results.

1. Immediately after your workout, drink 6 oz. of natural carbohydrates with L-Glutamine. I usually mix it with Apple juice
2. One hour later, follow-up with a solid meal with at least 30 grams of protein. Makre sure to add vegetables and berries to your meal such as spinach and blueberries.
3. Perform SMR (self-myofascial release) and static stretching on the bodyparts worked.

You will notice improved recovery and decreased in delayed onset of muscle soreness, and you will notice that you will have more energy for your next exercise workout.

With better exercise recovery, your body will stay in the race and adapt well without setting off an alarm response which can greatly hinder your training.

In future articles I will write in detail about the benefits of each of the exercise recovery steps.
