Sore No More
Are sore muscles cramping your style? We asked Stacy Berman, boot camp guru and mastermind behind many a tired tendon, for her quick fixes:
1. Stay hydrated?this will flush muscles of any lactic acid build up (the root cause of evil soreness).
2. Stretch, stretch, stretch. Then stretch some more. Short on time? Start your workout with this easy 5-minute routine.
3. Go bananas on cramps?potassium helps balance the body's fluids and heal muscles more quickly (bonus: the carbs keep you fueled).
4. Give it the cold shower?taking an arctic dip immediately after a workout will help decrease muscular inflammation.
5. Don't be afraid to work it -- a low intensity, light cardio workout for 20 to 40 minutes will get blood flowing, which combats soreness.
Extra credit: Get a massage to get blood flowing directly to the area. (Well, if Stacy insists!)
