I worked out yesterday and boy are my hamstrings hurting. My legs are so tight that I can't sit down in a chair and lift them straight without pain, that's how tight they are. Does anybody have any ideas on how to help them recover and loosen up? I have been stretching all of the time, but it still doesn't seem to be helping.

    How about a foam roller? You can find exercises on the internet.

    You're going to hate this idea, but go for a walk. Afterward, a warm bath with Epsom salt.

    Yep, go do that funny-looking John Wayne walk around the block.

    foam rolling
    water
    doing something- light stretching and walking around
