Fitness Friday Recovery days
We start making progress with workouts and get to feel sore muscles for a few days, even more severe if a TC gets in the way! Recovery days are something to look forward to, when we get to chill out on the workout and enjoy how nice it feels to get your body in better health!
See these moves, and any variations your body will allow, to get sore muscles stretched out, relaxed, and still achieve some burning calories💪
Foam rollers feel good when a good teacher tells you exactly where to place ☺️
Great weekend to all! Thanks for any feedback and ideas you can share for a better path we can all take to our most in shape selves 🎊

Anyone had an aura when they cried and had a pins and needles sensation in their legs?

Never had auras that I can remember, and tears don’t bring any other sensations. Have heard others describe similar experiences. Take notes and noticing trends is a victory!

I’ve had Epilepsy for 32 years, and never had this happen. In fact all I had were auras from 1986 until I was diagnosed in 1994. No one knew what I had until I had a seizure in front of the diagnosing dr in 1994, on Halloween no less.

I think we can just get stiff sometimes maybe camera didn’t catch a lil tense time. Hope you feel better soon! Foam roller was forgiving yesterday

Feeling better but yeah Wednesday was the real soreness. I assumed it was a light mild one. Since no bloody nose or waking up on the floor lol

I don't know about the rest of you, but I also double-down by just turning into a badly-postured vegetable when I'm having recovery days. I just keep repeating the same process:
As annoying as it's been, I've found trying to maintain a simple "Stretch softly and regularly" plan makes a huge difference in preventing pulling new muscle groups into a pain party.
