Relaxing in the bath helps me.

I tried taking cooler baths, but it just doesn't do it for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168609 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:01:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 168609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stretch and work out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168605 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:57:23 +0000 Sweet T 168605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Amen!

Yes! They're amazing. </p> <p>I find with good stretching before and after you can avoid most soreness. DH was my trainer back in the day (that's how we met) and he could work wonders with massage &amp; stretching to eliminate soreness. There are some creams you can massage that help too. And there's always Motrin :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168501 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:52:49 +0000 chopsuey 168501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stretch! It hurts SO GOOD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168497 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:51:33 +0000 MsLipGloss 168497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stretches and self-massage using a (really stiff) foam roller. It hurts like the dickens, but really helps to reduce muscle soreness much more quickly. I don't like to use a lot of heat to treat sore muscles because the muscles loosen when warmed, but become short/tight again once the heat effects are reduced. It can almost be like re-living the onset of the soreness again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168390 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:14:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 168390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot bath or shower, stretches, yoga moves, massage by DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168347 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:03:45 +0000 Rubies 168347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot shower.

When I had a trainer (waaaaaay back when) she told me that I always had to stretch to get my muscles ready for activity and get them "warmed up". </p> <p>Beyond that, a little Advil always helped me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-body-is-sore-from-a-workout#post-168239 Thu, 24 May 2012 18:29:28 +0000 Andrea 168239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baths and stretches.

Especially my core, my hips and my legs...</p> <p>I tried a hot bath, but that didn't really seem to help. I considered going to get a massage, but that seemed too luxurious. I've been doing a little stretching, but that's not really helping.</p> <p>What do you do when your body is sore from a workout? </p>
