What to do if muscle aches after fitness? How to recover?

Have you ever felt muscle aches the next day after exercise? After training, you have to hold the railings when going down the stairs the next day after training!

Is it normal for muscle aches for several days after going to the gym to exercise muscles?

The reason for delayed muscle aches! There is no definite scientific explanation yet! It is not clear that the actual exact reason

However, adjustments can be made from recovery to allow you to return to full blood faster and better!

Recovery is crucial for fitness training! Without recovery, there will be no transformation of the next training without good recovery, and there will be no cumulative progress.

Good training results are easy to accumulate results, and fatigue and fatigue will also accumulate. On the contrary, it just makes you stop moving forward

There are two main forms of recovery after training: active recovery and passive recovery!

We should choose "active recovery (or dynamic recovery)" instead of thorough rest (passive recovery).

For example, a sedentary office worker trains for 2-3 days a week and can maintain mild activities at other times to help eliminate waste in the body and blood circulation (oxygen and nutrients are transmitted to the muscles). In addition to physiologically, it is also psychologically beneficial. Daily exercise can make people feel better and have more positive emotions.

The activities that can be selected for active recovery include drum relaxation, walking, swimming, bicycle, yoga, etc. You can also train through muscle strength movements. For example, yesterday, squat training was performed, today's legs were very sour, and today you can have no load or hold a very light load (such as 1 30% of RM) and then do squat training. The purpose is not to add more [pressure] or [fatigue] to the leg muscles, but to serve as the purpose of blood circulation and repair.

The same method is also applicable to other movements, such as deadlift, rowing, pressing, bench press, etc.
