6 Ways To Minimize Body Pain After Workout Posted: 09 Dec 2013 04:02 AM PST Physical workout is utterly important for perfect health, probably the best way to stay physically and mentally fit. Light exercises are always a great idea, for they don't require too much effort and besides, help you stay active and energetic throughout the day. However, if you wish to vigorously exercises, especially strength training, a part of your daily workout routine, you will have to cope up with muscle soreness and overall body pain. It would be important to minimize post-workout muscle pain to be able to undertake these physical activities everyday on routine basis. Here are top 6 ways to help avoid, or minimize post-workout body pain:   6. Easy Exercises and Stretching: Having muscle pain after workout doesn't mean you have to stop exercising or take complete rest for days, but you should simply replace heavy exercises with lighter and easier ones until your body fully recovers. This helps you to be regular with your workout routine as well as prevent muscle and overall body pain. Let the muscles that are inflamed rest and take lighter exercises to train different muscles. Newly trained muscles will support sore areas and help them fight soreness and remove pain. Also, stretch all your overworked muscles after a tough workout session. This will boost up blood circulation and help your muscles recover quickly. 5. Ice Bath: Gyming people and athletes always have a habit of taking ice bath and contrast water therapy or hot and cold compress to minimize muscle soreness, cure injuries and recover fast. A thorough ice bath will constrict and dilate blood vessels in order to eliminate waste materials present in the tissue. Try cold compress for 15 to 20 minutes and hot compress for about 10 minutes to prevent inflammation and swelling and heal muscle tenderness and pain respectively! 4. A Thorough Massage: Your body burns energy during vigorous activities and improper oxygen supply for the conversion of glycogen into glucose causes the muscles to sore. The muscles stiffen slowly due to improper blood circulation. That means your body will recover if you can make the blood flow normal. A through massage is one of the best ways to do it, but you should treat the affected area with slow and gentle strokes. Keep pressure limited and controlled and muscle pain will vanish in just a moment. 3. Fluid Replacement: Your body loses a great deal of fluid while exercising, especially when most of the exercises that you do are high-intensity. Obviously, excessive loss of body fluids will lead to extra fatigue and body pain once you body is relaxed. The best way to prevent the loss of body fluid is to replace it during workout, and it is even more important to fill up after exercise. You can increase water intake to improve your body's capacity to recover. Also, sufficient water content in your body will boost your metabolism so that nutrient transfer doesn't get affected. Be keen toward fluid replacement if running is a part of your workout routine. 2. Proper Diet: Fueling your body with an appropriately balanced diet is a necessity when it comes to recovering after workout. During your exercise session you deplete all your energy and you need to eat healthy so that your body can repair damaged tissues, produce new ones, restore energy and be prepared for next workout session. Protein and carbohydrates are the most important food contents your body needs to heal ripped tendons and muscles. These diet elements get converted into energy and contribute to muscle mass building. Make your diet protein rich so that your body doesn't lack energy to heal muscles and relax pain and tenderness. 1. Proper Rest: Once you've tried all the above mentioned remedies after workout, it is time for rest and a sound, undisturbed sleep, the best way to make other methods work and ensure recovery! Your body will make the most of its natural healing capacity once you allow it to lay inactive for some time. Your body needs time to channelize all its functions that help it in breaking protein content taken through diet, restoring energy, repairing ripped tissue and muscles and heal any injuries, minor or major. Though natural healing mechanism of your body will work in even a state of nonstop activities and lack of rest, proper rest and inertia help it maintain its natural pace and deliver best results. All in all, after a workout session full of vigorous physical activities and application of miscellaneous recovery remedies, doing nothing is all you need to do!   The post 6 Ways To Minimize Body Pain After Workout appeared first on TopYaps.

6 Unspoken Rules Of A True Friendship Posted: 09 Dec 2013 01:21 AM PST Friends are like music in your life, you can't do without them. Without friends it would be like living on an island alone. They add spice to your life, and make it worth living. We cannot choose our family, but we can choose our friends. Friendship is a two lane road, you have to bend some and you will have to love some. Be honest, be yourself and true friends will stick to you like birds in a bush. Remember when you make the rules you can't break them. Here are some basic things to keep in mind when dealing with friends. 6. Friends are not paper towels: Never gossip about one in their absence. Do not be that friend that dumps her useless husband or boyfriend on her friend all the time. Sometimes fine, always, shows you in bad flake. Taking a trip on the wild side never hurt anybody, but making it an endless trip can get you into trouble. It is your responsibility to not let your friend look bad knowingly that includes spinach in teeth, stain on dress. Be there at a time of crisis just make sure your friend isn't always in the middle of one. There's no need to be clingy or needy. Give breathing space to each other. 5. Sisters Before: This is the girls equivalent of the boys, but it stands true for all. You might be dating the woman of your dreams or your prince charming; you should still take out time for your pals. It's never okay to ditch your friends for a date. Never fight over a guy, it's never worth it. They come and go, but true friends stick together, like ducks in a pond. Old friends get the benefit of doubt over new ones, until they mess it up. In all probability they never will. 4. Do not steal friends, steal love: As a rule if a new friend is introduced, the introducer dare not be ignored. In the process of increasing social presence, the friend finds out that they have no time for her. While you're sitting at home texting, your best pal and the new pal are doing the things you used to do together. It's ok when people meet and become buddies on their own, but when they meet someone and cut you out, that's super uncool. 3. Take turns at sharing, and not just cake: Ideal friendship means you are an all weather friend – Someone who comes to mind instantly, when in trouble or in love or in the labor room. Equal initiative is taken to meet, pick up the bill and do activities together. Never ever take each other for granted, and remember this is not an equation from algebra, you can never be 100% equal all the time. Be ready to share the limelight, tolerate psycho husband, and step back when they receive attention. Be warned if your mom is your friend, you need to be careful of what you share with her, about your friends. No matter how old you are. 2. Ex are off limits, forever: How would you feel if your friend who knows all your funny and sad stories of the past, dates the guy whose the main hero of those stories? There may be exceptions, but let me tell you even if they tell you it's okay, deep inside it never is. Remember you helped her pick her outfit for their first date and also told her what not to say. This is territory you should not enter. 1. Be honest, do not be dummy: Your friends need to know that they can trust you to practice what you preach and always be truthful. It maybe painful at times, but no point sugar coating when you're with friends, especially at critical times be honest to the core, but loving at the same time. But then you're not their mommy or daddy, so don't even try to be one. Honesty is great, but don't tell she's looking fat, when she already tried everything in the wardrobe.
