I tend to go overboard when I work out.
I properly warm up and stretch, but I just do too much weight lifting or cardio.
I have been known to go for obscenely long runs or to lift too much weight. Obviously I got injured quite a bit. It is also quite normal for me to be super sore. My muscles tighten up and I have trouble sleeping, sitting at a desk and driving a car. I used to get regular massages and rely on icy hot, but that didn’t really help me much. I then found that a lot of people with muscle soreness rely on cannabis. Since I am so fitness oriented I was scared away from weed for a while. I figured I would need to get high and smoke something. I didn’t want to have THC in my system for my workout. Then I started doing research and realized that cannabis is quite diverse. I could get a pure CBD product if I wanted to. I also could rely on a topical rather than flower or oil form. A topical is a cream that is applied directly to the skin for immediate relief. It is like icy hot but way better. It numbs the area and provides a cooling sensation. It reduces inflammation of the muscles and stops muscle soreness. It has a pleasant smell and no greasy residue. I love my topical. I can grab it easily at the recreational cannabis dispensary near me for quite cheap. Now that I have it, I haven’t had the sore days that I used to. I notice when I miss applying my cream for sure.
