Every person experiences muscle pain in one form or another during their lifetime.
There are various illnesses, minor and major, which have symptoms that include muscular pain in one form or another, but more often than not, this is caused by nothing other than our own actions and inaction.
It is also usually up to us to reduce or find relief for own muscle pain.
Relief begins with prevention.
Your actions greatly determine how much pain you will experience.
This pain can manifest itself as cramps, stiffness, and spasms.
It is all part of the same condition in which your muscles aren't functioning properly.
The easiest way to prevent muscle pain is to adhere to the following guidelines: - Make exercise a regular part of your life.
A well trained muscle is often a healthy muscle.
You need to be active during your day to day routine through stretching, walking, not assuming the same position for long periods of time, and so on.
The more routinely active you are, the less stiff your muscles are likely to become.
- Don't overdo things.
Overtraining involves working out too often without giving your body the rest it needs to recuperate between workouts.
A good rule of thumb is to train a group of muscles every 72 hours or so and not more often than 48 hours apart in any case.
Your muscles tear during a workout and build back better when you rest.
If you don't rest you may develop injuries and serious muscle pain.
- Don't push yourself too hard.
Building strength and stamina should be done in a gradual and sensible manner.
You can't lift 10 pounds weights one week, 20 pounds the next, and expect to feel no muscle pain.
You're not a machine and you can't get results in a week.
There's nothing wrong with pushing yourself and doing intensive workouts, but be sensible about it.
- Don't take too long breaks.
If you don't workout for weeks and then get back to the gym, you may experience muscle cramps and pain.
The key is to be continually active.
You can take breaks and they may be beneficial, but you should get back into your routine gradually.
- Warm up and cool down.
No workout is complete or safe without a proper warm up before and a cool down after.
Your warm up and cool down sessions should include stretching exercises to help relieve muscle tension and improve flexibility.
- To reduce muscle pain you can have regular massages, use ice packs, or resting periods.
There are also certain lotions and balms that provide muscle pain relief.
If you follow the guidelines above you will likely experience only rare muscle pain.
It is mainly up to you.
