Hi my name is Kevin. I'm the Fitness Director and one of the founders here at REVFIT.
I'm going to give you 4 quick tips to recover from muscle soreness after your workout. Congrats on making your first session, by the way, I'm so excited. Now this is how we beat the soreness. So there's 4 things that will help you recover from soreness:
The 1st tip: water
Drink lots of it today. You just worked your muscles in a way that probably is a little bit different, probably got pushed a little bit. You need to stay hydrated and make sure that your muscles are working properly and recover properly.
The 2nd tip: protein
We here at REVFIT recommend 1 gram per pound of goal body weight, so maybe your goal weight is 140 pounds or 180 pounds. So that would be 140 grams or 180 grams of protein.
What's 1 gram of protein? 1 ounce of meat has about 7 g of protein in it. One egg has about 6 grams of protein. Hope that helps…but get your protein in. That is how your muscles build back up.
The 3rd tip: stretch
I'm going to attach a few documents down below, which basically outline some stretching protocols. Do these one time a day in the next 2 days, so twice in the next 48 hours. Make it 5 minutes…it doesn't have to be super crazy, but keep moving, it'll help you with any type of soreness or any type of tightness.
The 4th tip: sleep
And last but not least, it's everyone's favorite topic…I know…sleep. You need to sleep. 7.5+ hours seems to be the right balance. There's just way too much data supporting it.
Recap:
So just a quick recap:
Water
Protein
Stretch
Sleep
Get these in and I promise your body is going to feel tip top, and you're going to feel strong for the next few days.
