If you awakened this morning after yesterday's gym workout feeling stiff and sore, you're experiencing DOMS, delayed onset muscle soreness, which is just a fancy term for "Good workout!" Fight the urge to stay in bed all day because the best thing you can do is move around. Move gently, of course, but get the blood flowing to those muscles, and after they're warmed up, stretch them VERY gently.
In addition, watermelon, ginger root, and tart cherry juice may help relieve some of that inflammation. Not to mention an ibuprofen, a hot bath, and possibly a nice little glass of wine in the evening. Whatever it takes!
Good workout!
