**9 Ways To Avoid The OUCH Post Workout**
1. Take a shower after working out, alternating 30 seconds cold & 60 seconds hot.
2. Get plenty of potassium in your diet. Think bananas & yogurt.
3. Do a two-to three-minute meditation, envisioning your body as healthy, beautiful, & pain free!
4. Roll out muscles with a foam roller.
5. Build recovery into your program. Do Yoga or stretch on your days off.
6. Warm up and cool down before & after EVERY workout.
7. Go swimming the day after a tough sweat session.
8. Drink lots of water!
9. Soak in the tub with two teaspoons each of baking soda & Epsom salt!

But REFUSE to appropriate funding to ensure a healthier lifestyle!
I am flabbergasted by that!
Now, this post is not directed at anyone in particular. I am not saying that all people can afford one-on-one Personal Training....
Nor, am I insinuating that one could afford my services... (I am pricey 😂)
BUT you can absolutely afford a $10 Membership to Planet Fitness and healthier choices with groceries!

Day 27: STRETCH

Static stretching, especially when paired with deep, diaphragmatic breathing, is a great way to unwind and de-stress at the end of a long day. You may want to add a warm shower or bath before this routine—not only does it boost the relaxation factor, but stretching muscles when they’re warm is also safer and more effective.

You’ve made it to your second-to-last workout of this Challenge—that’s huge! In just a few days, you’ll have completed four whole weeks of workouts that pushed you to new fitness feats and helped you master new moves.

Now’s not the time to let up. After all, you are so close to the finish! This might be a good time to try some of the exercise progressions we list in each routine. In this workout, we have some make-it-harder tweaks to the reverse lunge and the inchworm—just tap the link below for the full details! You can also try one of the more challenging work-to-rest options if you’re looking to really light this one up.

Day 24: REST

When stress is high, self-care is vital. You might equate that more with emotional stress, but remember, exercise is a form of stress too, albeit a physical (and often positive) one!

That’s why it’s important to schedule self-care for your body, too. We’ve mapped out rest days in this Challenge to get you started, but what you do during them is up to you. Maybe you want to take the day completely off from movement, preferring to start a good book or try a new recipe. Or maybe your body is asking for some gentle movement. Easy, light activity like a walk outdoors, a stretching session, or a foam-rolling routine can serve as some solid active recovery, giving your muscles and mind time for a much-needed recharge.
