Hi Everyone!!!

I have a fitness test to take at the gym on Monday. Yesterday I went to the gym, was so motivated and had a burst of energy i ran like the wind. Now l feel like some one beat my thighs and bum up in a gang fight. I have this fitness test on Monday and wanted some tips on how everyone deals with the post- workout ouchies. I know they are going to measure my body fat with some crazy scale and pinch me with calipers and everything like that. Is there anything else I should expect and anything I can do to not feel depressed for not being at my best yet.

    STRETCH! Stretching really helps both before and after working out.

    Just an odd bit of information, Chinchilla is my nickname.

    I know how you feel the past 2 days my quads were killing- i think i've actually been walking with a limp! HA! its hard to do but the best thing is to MOVE the next day and work out that lactic acid build up in your legs. Take it easy but do a mild work out to move those muscles.

    Nice hot soak in the tub with some Epsom salt... lots of rest and water... and some Ibuprofen.

    Thank's everyone. I think all of those suggestions will definetly help. I really do not take the time to strestch properly and it not to my benefit. It is probably contributing to my afterwork out pain. I just need to get the drug store and get some epsom salts for a nice after work out bath.
