Phoenix Mercury strength & conditioning coach Ben Hadley shares ways women can overcome muscle soreness after a workout.
Ben Hadley:
Muscle soreness is a natural thing and when you first start an exercise program or if you are overloading your muscles your muscles are going to get sore. Muscle soreness is absolutely fine so long as you are not sore for more than 48 hours you probably did not over-trained. Muscle soreness is just your body telling you that you did workout.
Some ways to overcome soreness is proper diet, high level of hydration, maintaining a high level of hydration, and keep moving. People think that when they are sore they need to sit still. Walking after a leg workout for instance is one way to help increase your recovery time for those muscles.
