14 Stages of Being Sore After a Workout

– health.com

14 Stages of Being Sore After a Workout1. You just finished your workout, feeling good but exhausted.

But as your body cools down, you realize the next 12-72 hours are going to be hell.

2. You've got some serious stiffness going on. It's not too painful—yet. But you know what's coming.

You hydrate, refuel, and settle in for some beauty (and recovery) sleep. (Which is super important for weight loss, FYI.)

3. You roll over in the middle of the night and realize that EVERYTHING HURTS.

Nothing can save you now. (Except for these sore-muscle treatments. Maybe.)

4. In the morning, you go to swing your legs out of bed and happily yank off the covers, but…

Then you realize you feel like you got hit by a truck. LOL JK I'm staying right here.

5. But you have to go to work/class/adulting, so you slowly peel yourself out of bed.

This may include slowly moving one limb at a time or rolling like a log straight onto the floor. (Fingers crossed your feet catch you).

6. All your normal tasks are extremely difficult.

Getting a coffee mug off the top shelf suddenly seems impossible. And bending down to put your shoes on…LOLOL.

7. Once you get moving a little, it's not so bad. And then you come to a staircase, and it's all over.

Just leave me here to die.

 

8. And you walk like…well, like this.

This has got to be the sexiest thing ever.

9. You're so sore that you can't even think about working out for a few days.

Active recovery can mean laying on the couch, right? Yoga is NOT gonna happen.

10. Cue hours of foam rolling. It hurts so good.

Praise the heavens for foam rollers. Although that creepy trainer is definitely mistaking your "ow" face for an "O" face.

11. You will do almost anything to get someone to give you a massage.

Like, unmentionable, terrible things.

12. And you hope that when you get up the next day, you'll feel like a human being again.

But actually you feel even worse. So it's another day of death.

13. Eventually, you start to feel mobile again.

After hurting so badly, just being able to move feels like the best thing in the world.

14. But, naturally, you go back to the gym and it starts allllll over again.

Hello, vicious #gainz cycle.

7 Self-Care Tips That Will Make You Happier This Summer

– www.health.com

Practicing self care is something you should be doing 365 days a year. But we get it—sometimes work, relationships, and everyday hassles take up all your free time. Now that summer is approaching, however, incorporating self-care into your routine has become a little bit easier.

Vacation days give you breaks in your routine, warmer weather allows for more outdoors time, and summer's carefree, slow-mo vibe means fewer distractions from giving yourself the TLC you need and deserve. "Self-care may mean different things to different people, but I consider it anything that you do to make yourself feel and function at your best," says Mia Finkelston, MD, a family physician who treats patients via the telehealth app LiveHealth Online.

Give your physical and mental health a boost this season by embracing these simple, restorative self-care moves.

Try a workout switch

If you're not already very active—or feel a bit bored by your current routine—this is the time to commit to a new exercise plan. "Since the mornings are bright, consider exercising or bike riding first thing, either alone or with a friend," says Finkelston. Or delve into an activity you love that doesn't quite feel like exercise, such as gardening. The combo of a fresh experience and some physical movement is sure to re-energize you. 

Clean house

Take 5-10 minutes a day to tidy up a part of your home you spend much of your time in. What sounds like a chore will actually help dial back stress and make you feel more comfortable in your space. That's because clutter in your house can translate into mental clutter, weighing you down and potentially increasing anxiety and depression. Organizing and cleaning, however, help you feel less overwhelmed, like you've come out from under.

Splurge on new summer gear

Tidying your home up also means purging things you don't want or need. With this in mind, Finkleston suggests changing out your bedding—no need for a heavy comforter this time of year!—and donating old clothing to a local charity. If your budget allows it, treat yourself to summer-themed items that make you feel well and good. New sandals and shades, perhaps?

Get out of town… or plan a staycation

Whether it's a beach weekend or a trip abroad, vacation is all about resetting and refueling. "Taking a vacation can reduce stress and may also lower cortisol levels, which decreases the risk of heart disease," says Finkelston. "Meanwhile, the experiences you have while traveling, especially if you are discovering new places and interacting with different people, translate to knowledge, and exercising your brain is an extremely important part of maintaining your overall health."

If you're strapped for cash, don't underestimate the power of a staycation…
