Description: What to do when sore?

Everyone likes to feel sore the next day to remind them that they trained hard, but excessive soreness is counterproductive to growing glutes. It’s ok to be a little sore but if it’s excessive then you need to give your body a chance to recover. The amount of soreness does not determine how hard you worked out. Excessive soreness means that you did too much. Listen to your body and take the day off, go for a long walk, do some isolation work on your legs or do an upper body workout instead. The following day see how you feel and if it’s slightly sore then you can resume training. 

Factors that contribute to soreness:
▫️Novelty (doing something new or something you haven’t done in a long time)
▫️Doing exercises that stretch the muscle to a long length (for example, lunges)
▫️Training glutes infrequently

Factors that decrease soreness:
▫️Consistency (performing similar movement patterns each week)
▫️Doing exercises that stress short muscle lengths (for example, hip thrusts)
▫️Training glutes frequently

✨ To help prevent soreness: Make sure you’re doing your warm up and stretches at the end of your workout. I always want you to push yourself when training but do not over do it, listen to your body.

✨ To help relieve soreness: Use a foam roller to gently massage the area (I have a “Foam Rolling” section) or do gentle stretches from the “cooldowns” section. Also make sure you’re drinking enough water and rehydrate with electrolytes. 


My recommendations for electrolytes:
