Stretch before and after working out...I didn't do this at first, so I had T-Rex arms for a while0

I am going through some serious tension in my calves right now. It's like I can hardly straighten my leg out because I don't want to put too much weight on it sometimes...but I have found that swimming relieves the tension or pain as well as a hot bath. Other than that...massage your muscles gently. Just from my opinion. I am def not a professional! Good luck.0

I found a lower body stretch video on Youtube from Fitness Blender. It's 10 minutes and I do it after every lifting session. I play the video each time because it helps me remember to do each stretch for the right length of time and it has really helped me. Good luck!0

I like spending some time in the sauna....seemed to help me.0

Take a magnisium supplement. Also, an epsom salt bath will help tremendously. As some of the others have said stretching is really important. Good luck! :happy:0

I think there are different types of tight muscles, but if it is like a knot, try massages (done yourself or by someone else). Foam rollers are really helpful. If it is a tight spot, use a tennis ball. The key is to use deep pressure and massage the muscle. Then do a little stretching and drink lots of water. It is what works for me.0

For super-tight muscles I go to the foam roller.0

I just sit back and enjoy it...that means I killed it in the gym0

Massage, stretching, a well balanced diet with enough electrolytes to replace the ones you lose, hot baths/sauna/hot tub, yoga.0

Soak in tub, and end it with a cool (cold) shower.. this really is an amazing ending to the muscles. But you might need to take asprin as well.0 -
