Big Body Building Tips

You have to push yourself if you want your body to change. It’s simply not possible for you to notice drastic changes in the absence of intense exercise.

The bad news, however, is that intense exercise can leave you with extreme muscle soreness.

So here are some tips to mitigate soreness after high intensity exercise:

1. Take an anti-inflammatory: Now this is an extreme measure and I only recommend it when the soreness is intolerable. Otherwise, you will be far better off following the advice below. You see, taking these medications isn’t healthy for you.

2. Take a cold bath: Cold temperature reduces inflammation, a primary cause of the sore feeling. And although I use to be skeptical about these, they do work. The key here is to make sure the water is really cold for the best results.

3. Combine hot with cold: By combining hot with cold you increase blood flow. And recall that blood will help your sore muscles heal faster and it will also help remove the waste buildup. One way to do this is to take a hot shower immediately followed by a cold shower.

4. Walk around: The simple act of walking, or any other type of low level activity, will increase blood flow and by extension, reduce soreness. So make sure you have some type of low level physical activity within your routine.

5. Get a full night’s sleep: Without sleep, your ability to recovery will be compromised. When you sleep your body secretes hormones that repair your body. Both repair hormones, growth hormone and testosterone, get secreted when you sleep.

6. Have some protein every three hours: At this frequency of consumption you will enjoy the fastest rates of repair in your body. You see, your blood stores of amino acids run out after about three hours. So eating protein frequently will help you recover the fastest.

Extreme soreness can be a real damper on your lifestyle. So take action on this advice if you want to reduce soreness today.
