Hello queens 👑👋🏼
I'm a newbie to the #queensdontquit community and completed my very first class yesterday, 'Lean legs'! Today my legs are really sore (I had to go down the stairs on my bum 😂) but I would love to be able to do the Tuesday evening combat class - any tips on what helped you recover? Thank you 🤗
Magnesium salt in a bath is amazing! Baths in general .. also if you have a foam roller this also helps. Try to still be active today - a walk or something just to help ease it! 🥰
@Mary-Kate Kavanagh oh me tooooo! 😭 The more the day goes on the stiffer I am 😂😂😂 did 20 mins gentle yoga this morning so stretch out Abit!
I'm going to try a brisk walk to get the blood flowing and see if that works?
And besides that loads of water should help!
@Leonie Mcnulty @Julia Galloway thank you both for the helpful advice!! ☺️ Going to purchase a foam roller now and try get a brisk walk in too without hobbling down the road 😅
@Mary-Kate Kavanagh I am not sure whether you use or like protein powder but I found that getting protein (in any form: powder/meat/beans/anything) into your body within 30-60min after a workout helps a lot with soreness. Back in the days when I trained 2-3 times a day for volleyball, that was the main thing that saved me from the pain.
Drinking a lot of water, light stretching, and getting enough sleep should also help, although be careful with overstretching when you have DOMS. A couple of times I found myself stretching too much after a hard workout and overdoing it slightly because I could not feel the 'stretching pain', I thought it was just DOMS.
I actually come on here hoping someone had asked this question 😂 omg my legs are so stiff!!! I only done the beginners class!! I'm doing the live tonight at 6 too! I had to hold onto my sink to lift myself up from the toilet before. I nearly pulled it off the wall 😳 I'll be getting a foam roller too!
@Yvett Talas thank you so much that's super helpful to know about the protein, definitely need to up that 😁
@Kelly McGarr haha me too! Definitely the reality check I needed that I haven't been moving very much! Enjoy the class! (I may have to literally sit this one out 😂)
