"Hi, my name is Sue Conrad, I'm going to show you how to ease sore muscles. Of course, there's many medications, sports cream and massage therapists that help, can help ease your sore muscles. But there's other remedies you can try initially. One thing you can do is apply ice every twenty minutes on the hour, to help ease the sore muscles. I like to suggest like two minutes on, two minutes off. Another option you can do is stretch these sore muscles, these muscle groups that you've actively used and you could gentle stretching to stretch out these muscles, to help moves the lactic acid through these muscles and relieve the soreness. Okay, in addition to stretching these sore muscles, you can also walk ten to fifteen minutes, maximum thirty minutes per day to help increase the circulation of the muscles in the body. And also, another important thing is to remain hydrated. So you should have your, your, you know, 64 ounces of water per day and this will help relieve your sore muscles."
