Light exercise

Low-impact exercises like swimming and cycling can relieve muscle soreness and promote healing without overwhelming your body.

Hydrate, but in limit

Staying hydrated helps ease muscle soreness, but it's important not to overdo it. Sip 200ml of water every 15-30 minutes during exercise to help recovery.

Take rest days

Rest days are crucial for body to repair and rejuvenate after workouts. On the next day of an intense workout day, opt for light exercises, then, take the following day off completely.
