]]> Muscle tightness is a common issue that everyone faces at some point after a prolonged time of repeating the same action. Muscle stiffness is common in people who are working 9-5 jobs and even drivers since they usually maintain the same position for hours on end.

This, in turn, can cause cramps and a mild uncomfortable and nagging feeling that can persist throughout the day. It’s important to stretch your body every day and whenever you can to decrease sore muscles post-workout and even pre-workout. Muscle tightening is also caused by blood being squeezed and tightened which reduces mobility and functioning at your best. Here are some quick remedies that can help with initial muscle tightening.

1 Minute Neck Stretches

Tilt your head to the right holding it gently with your right arm. Keep your left hand at your back for a deeper stretch. Alternate the same motion with the opposite side. Repeat for 30 seconds on each side about 3 times.

Standing Leg Raises

This quick yoga stretch is a stretch that you can easily do at home or outside of your office (just tell your coworkers you’re stretching your legs). All you need to do is to stand up with your right leg stretched out and hold it in the air for 30 seconds. If your legs aren’t super flexible, you can bring it up 45 degrees and that should be fine. Alternate with the other side for 30 seconds.

]]> Sore muscles are inevitable, regardless if you are a beginner or a professional weightlifter. But there is always the famous question: “skip or not skip the next day?” Instead of wondering, here is what you should be doing.

Don’t Take Pre-Workout Medicine

Taking painkillers before a workout is a big no-no! It can mask an injury or cause you to push yourself harder and further than you should. If you experience after workout muscle soreness, icing the place where it hurts is a better option than trying to prevent DOMS – delayed onset muscle soreness.

Get to Know Your Body

Experiencing DOMS is a good thing; it is caused by muscle microtears, which helps build muscle fiber and make them stronger. However, if your pain is unusual or you think you might have injured yourself, stop immediately, because pushing through the pain can harm your body even more.

Work With Other Body Parts

Although DOMS can be painful, it isn’t an excuse to skip your workout. So, if you have sore arms, concentrate on other body parts, like your legs or abs. You won’t hurt as much, but you will still be on track with your workout.
