How can I prevent muscle soreness after exercise?

Post-Workout Recovery

To prevent muscle soreness after exercise, try these strategies:

  • Warm up properly: Warming up increases blood flow to muscles, helping reduce the risk of soreness.
  • Cool down and stretch: Cooling down after exercise helps relax muscles and remove lactic acid buildup.
  • Stay hydrated: Drinking water supports muscle recovery and prevents cramping.
  • Use foam rolling: Foam rolling helps reduce muscle tension and soreness post-workout.
  • Gradually increase intensity: Avoid jumping into intense workouts too quickly to minimize soreness. Taking these steps can help reduce post-workout muscle soreness and improve recovery.
