Because muscles are subjected to some pressure and minor injuries during exercise, the body will have an inflammatory reaction to repair the injured tissues, and this inflammatory reaction is the main cause of muscle soreness.
This process is completely natural and healthy. It is precisely because the body can "over-repair" the muscle damage caused by exercise and make the body adapt to stronger pressure in repeated cycles that athletes can run faster, jump higher and lift heavier. This is a benign inflammation.

How to do muscle soreness after fitness;
1, ensure regular sleep.
This is not only very important for relieving DOMS (delayed muscle soreness), but also very important for fitness and all aspects of life. Even so, many people still fail to meet the requirements. Continuous regular work and rest and adequate sleep are more effective prescriptions for fitness problems than any supplements, so it is recommended to rest at the same time every day to ensure at least 7 hours of sleep. If you can't last for 7-8 hours, it's much better to sleep separately than to stay up for 3-5 hours every day.
2, foam shaft and massage
The role of foam shaft is similar to massage, which can help the body relax, increase the range of activities, improve flexibility, relieve muscle soreness and accelerate recovery.
3. Increase the intake of protein, carbohydrates and water.
Adequate intake of protein can effectively help muscle recovery. Increasing the intake of carbohydrates can help muscle cells store water, thus promoting hydration, which is conducive to the body's excretion of toxins and transport of nutrients, thus helping muscles to recover and grow better. Keeping enough water in the body is very important for the good operation of various functions of the body. At the same time, higher protein and carbohydrate intake also require more water intake. Simply put, eat more meat, eat more staple food and drink more water.
4. Do proper low-intensity exercise.
Even jogging, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and other low-intensity exercises can't help you get an amazing figure, but they are very helpful for muscle recovery after training. They can help you increase blood circulation, promote nutrient transport, enhance body function and effectively relieve DOMS.
