Exercise...OUCH

Hey all! I go to the gym 4-5x a week for 45-90 minutes depending on my schedule and I do cardio and weights. I have increased my workout steadily with no troubles at all. Today, my trainer added in lunges and squats and for the first time since starting, I am sore enough to complain. My legs feel like rubber and going the steps is actually kind of scary...I feel like my legs will give out. I really am unsure of what to use for muscle soreness...I don't want to take Tylenol, it barely works on my headaches so why waste the pouch space, but I am not really thrilled with the idea of slathering IcyHot on my entire leg either. Any suggestions for something that doesn't smell bad and isn't too greasy? TIA! Christine

I got one word for ya: ASPERCREME! I have even used it on my temples when I have a headache! It's not greasy and it doesn't smell.

Thanks for the suggestion!

A nice long hot soaking works for me. I know the feelings you are decribing. I do a hour and a half to 2 hours a day 4-5 times a week. You would think I would look like a fit and toned person by now... I am getting there. I love to exercise now. Good work and keep it up. You cannot go wrong with exercise. Hugs Angel J

Hi Angel. I just wanted to say how wonderfull you are looking. Katrina

Thanks for the replies. Today is much worse than yesterday...even sitting still I feel the soreness. I did soak in a hot tub today and put the jets right at my legs, but about an hour later I was back to being sore. Tomorrow I'll have to get in some good "leg time" at the gym. Christine
