If you know you have overworked your muscles try and take a cold shower this will help to help prevent swelling and soreness. You can try cold packs for twenty minutes at a time every hour. Cold helps prevent muscle soreness by constricting the blood vessels which will reduce blood flow and thus inflammation in the area. Using a heating pad or hot water bottle is the worst thing for sore muscles. Because it opens up blood vessels and increases circulation to the area and can increase muscle soreness and stiffness especially if applied during the first twenty four hours after the strenuous activity. After three or four days when the swelling and soreness is gone you can resume some heat to help relax the muscles. When you start to exercise again make sure to stretch slowly for twenty minutes. Over working muscles One of the best remedies for sore muscles is swimming. The cold of the water helps reduce inflammation and stretches them out and relieves soreness. The best way to keep from getting muscles is to warm up properly. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help prevent dehydration. Muscle cramps can be caused by lack of fluids so make sure to drink plenty of water before working out.
