Ever felt so sore after a workout that you could barely sit, stand, or even get through your day as usual? You’re not alone! That post-workout soreness—known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)—is completely normal, but it doesn’t have to leave you sidelined.
In today’s episode, host Morgan Ekovich dives deep into DOMS: what it is, why it happens, and most importantly, how to reduce that soreness so you can get back to your fitness routine feeling better than ever. You'll learn simple, actionable recovery strategies—hydration hacks, protein-packed snack tips, foam rolling techniques, and more—to speed up muscle repair and make recovery as much a part of your fitness journey as your workouts.
What You'll Learn:
- What DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is and why it happens 12-72 hours after a workout
- Why soreness is not necessarily an indicator of a “great workout”
- Why protein within 30-45 minutes post-workout is crucial for muscle repair
- The importance of hydration and how electrolytes can help your recovery
- How stretching, foam rolling, and light cardio can reduce muscle tightness
- Whether heat or ice is better for recovery (and how to choose what works for you)
Whether you’re new to working out, stepping up your routine, or just recovering from a weekend of heavy lifting (hello, moving furniture! 🙃), this episode is for YOU.
