Answer 2

I've done that before. It sucks!

After you get done working out, go to the wash room. Most gyms I've been to have a sauna or a hot tub. Spend about 1/2 hr in either to relax your muscles after working out then take a shower, go home, stretch.

For this time... alternate every other hour cold and hot compresses. A warm bath or massaging shower head should help. Epson Salts and even Lavendar bath soothes. You can try some of the icy-hot type patches or rubs too. Be sure to stretch out the muscles.

You may not have pulled them, but they might be over exterted. Are you trying to tone up or build muscle? By over exerting them you tear the muscle slightly and then as new muscle rebuilds, it builds up the tear and forms a larger muscle. To avoid this, lots of stretching. Even stuff like the tredmill and eliptical and bike (etc) will help you stretch and tone rather than build massive muscle.

Hope this helps. If you need anything else email me [e-mail]

Answer 4

you need to make sure that you are giving your body the proper rest it needs between workout days. for now i would just rest, but depending on the pain intensity you can ice the areas to get the swelling down. also make sure before and after your workouts you stretch properly.

epsom salt bath then mineral ice with a cold compress.
