Friends and Fitness Enthuisasts,
If you are feeling particularly sore but your muscles aren't swelling from injury, try some heat! The ice pack I wrote about in an earlier post also works as a heating pad. Simply microwave it and you're set. Also be sure to wrap a towel around this one before you pick it up because it'll be super hot.
In case you were wondering, there isn't any official research on the effectiveness of heat on sore muscles that I could find. However, from personal experience, I can tell you that it feels wonderful. Maybe you already knew this; maybe you're like me and forgot about doing it until someone (like your mother, thanks mom) reminds you. Either way, enjoy!
In health,
Lauren
