Answer 1

Don't interpret soreness as sorely out-of-shape. "Some people think they have no business exercising because exercise is 'painful.' That's not the case. The soreness is there simply because your muscle is learning something new, and the benefits of exercise far outweigh any initial discomfort," Torgan said.
Gentle stretching may help restore flexibility.
Massage may also offer some pain relief.
Application of balms, creams and/or ice, as well as submersion in warm water, may provide temporary relief.
There's no scientific evidence that herbal remedies are effective, but products containing ibuprofen may help lessen the discomfort. The best treatment, said Torgan, is to take it easy for a few days while your body adapts.
Don't avoid activity because of muscle soreness. In fact, keeping the muscle in motion with light exercise can be beneficial.
Talk to your health and fitness instructor about muscle pain or soreness. It's normal to feel soreness, particularly after new moves, but if you're concerned, talk to your health care provider or instructor for more information.

Muscle cramps
Muscle cramps, which are intense, involuntary contractions of the muscle, typically occur toward the end of a long workout or competition. Cramps are traditionally thought to stem from dehydration or electrolyte imbalances (loss in body salt through sweat), but this is not always the case. Another cause of a muscle cramp is fatigue of the muscle.

There's no "cure" for muscle cramps, but Torgan recommends:


Stretch regularly, stay well hydrated, take in a well-balanced diet and be conditioned for exercise.
When cramps occur, hold the muscle in a stretched position until the cramp subsides.

Answer 2

You can soak in a hot tub with warm water to try to relax the muscles. Being a rower is hard. You have to use certain muscles that you don't normally use. You have to learn to do warm up exercises. Try to do more muscle toning exercises so that your muscles won't be stretched too much.

I did a dragon boat race where we only practiced once a week and we had pain for awhile. Once your body gets used to it, your muscles won't feel so much pain.

The cramps could be nerves. You are nervous about how you are doing in the rowing or whether you can keep up with the other rowers. Just relax and have fun.

Answer 3

Do a massage therapy on your legs. Put a gentle pain killer oil while doing massage. Have some stretching on your legs. I know that filling because I also experienced that I am a softball player, I know it's hard and very tiring sports a track and field. Just always remember before starting running stretch your body first. Have a rest well. If still pain occur take a pain killer tablets such as ibuprofen or mefenamic. Go to the doctor fur the further advice.

Answer 4

Stretch slowly. Studies [citation needed] linking DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) to stretching have been conducted and have mixed results-some say stretching causes DOMS and others say it doesn't.

It is normally a good idea to warm up before exercising to warm the muscles, preparing them for and making them more efficient at doing the coming exercises.

Stretching after exercising, especially if someone is new to stretching, should progress slowly. Stretching should only be done to the point of slight discomfort and held for 10-30 seconds (10 or less for beginners).

To lessen pain after exercise thorough warming up is required. Warmer muscles are more flexible and less prone to damage.

Answer 5

I'm not sure... I'm just 16, so I just work out more often and stretch as much as I can and after my body gets used to it it doesn't hurt that much. so I recomend you to stretch. Warn you it's gonna be tough, but it's gonna be worth it. In fact, maybe you should take some sort of a self defense class like Tae Kwon Do. I take Tae Kwon Do and it helps. Just stretch for half an hour or 20 minutes every morning... sit in a split... it should help.

Answer 6

You should be able to buy a book on using pressure points! I hope you get some relief -Muscle cramps are rough- I get them myself- be sure you get enough potassium and drink Lots of water so you don't get dehydrated-that can cause cramps-I take Quinine-Hylands has a product that has a small amount of quinine in it for leg cramps you can get it through Swanson's on Internet

Answer 7

To get rid of pain massage your temples and the openings between your hands. You can use rubbing alcohol or witch hazel after you take your shower. Or take a soak in the alcohol

Answer 8

Hot tub, solomon seal tea(dont mix with medicine), and the book, clay cure.

Answer 9

Ice or IcyHot after practice.

Answer 10

Maybe you should start warming up before you exercise.
