Muscle soreness (also known as delayed onset muscle soreness or “DOMS”) is something we can all relate to. The sore legs and various other sore muscles we experience after a hard workout can be an uncomfortable feeling. Although this is perfectly normal, sore muscles becomes a problem when it interferes with your muscle recovery. If your muscle soreness after a workout sticks around until your next workout, this is going to negatively impact your workout AND further interfere with the muscle recovery process. Thus, it’s essential that you optimize your muscle recovery after a workout in order to minimize muscle soreness - and no, ice baths or stretching after a workout won't help! In this video I’ll go over 4 science-backed tips to enhance muscle recovery and provide fast muscle soreness relief. I’ll discuss the topics of foam rolling, active recovery (cool downs) and various supplements that have been shown to relieve muscle soreness and enhance muscle recovery.
