10 ways to deal with DOM's.

DOMS. The curse of every training program. Prevent & relieve it with these 10 tips.

1: Drink a cup of coffee before working out to increase muscular strength & endurance & reduce the chance of soreness.

2: Eat a pre-workout snack that is low-fat & high-carb with some protein.

3: Take the time to warm up & cool down so you don't stress & overtax your muscles & heart.

4: Keep steadily moving while exercising so fresh blood will be sent to repair your taxed muscles.

5: While working out, stay hydrated by drinking water every 15 minutes.

6: If you are sweating a lot, replace lost electrolytes with a sports drink, because these essential salts regulate heartbeats, muscular contractions, & nerve function.

7: Regularly stretch & use a foam roller to lengthen muscles & break up knots.

8: Eat a post-workout snack that has a 4:1 ratio of carbs to protein to help restore the nutrients lost in the muscles during the workout (chocolate milk works.)

9: Get a sports massage to increase circulation & break up major knots in problem areas that are always sore.

10: Take a cold shower post-workout to reduce inflammation of the muscles.
