As we hit the peak of New Years resolution season — where the gyms are crowded and bustling with that infectious fresh-start energy — it’s very possible you might get a little carried away with your workouts and end up super sore. Enthusiasm can get the best of you, the runner’s high or hype of your spin class can go from “wow, I feel incredible — I am strength,” to “my body is a skin prison of pain” real fast.
And, hey, it happens to the best of us. But you need to take care of yourself if you’re gonna stick with any fitness routine. To nurture your sore muscles and round out your good workout with some extra TLC, you want to have a recovery plan that caters to your specific self-care needs. If you know you’ve got bad knees or sore feet or jello arms after a particular session, plan ahead and scoop up the right products to keep in your gym bag (or close to your coziest spot on the couch) to make up the perfect post-workout recovery tool kit.
