What can I do to lessen the muscle pain I got from my first day at gym :( ?

Keep going. You just have to keep suffering through it. I mean make sure it's just muscle soreness and not injury but other than that you just gotta keep moving. The first time I tried seriously working out I hurt for months before my body got used to it. The second time I started with cardio and I feel like it helped recovery a lot. Only took a couple weeks before the soreness became bearable and now it's nothing. You just gotta keep going. But massages and stretching sometimes help for very temporary relief. Also water and rest and eating properly.

Beyond the basics suggested, you can't. That's how it feels when you start a new exercise regime that is significantly different. Need to allow your body to do its thing and heal.

If you have a boyfriend or a lover ask him to give u nice roughly massage with virgin olive oil or coconut oil (not the one for cooking guys) it'll create the muscle to be a bit more loose and it'll hurt less besides it'll give u a free massage 😉. U can always do it yourself or ask your parents or siblings but that's a little awkard if you ask me...
Hope that helps 😊

*-* liked the boyfriend part.. exept that I'm single and tunisian.. It means we live with our parents untill we get married -_-

Firstly, you should have stretched better after your workouts but as for now, go in for a really hot shower. It works

[BertMacklinFBI]

stretch, sit in a Jacuzzi. water and rest.

It's 22:37 in my country. I have to wake up early tomorrow.. There's no time left :((
Anyway.. hot water or cold water :3 ?

[BertMacklinFBI]

hot water and stretching will release lactic acid build up in your muscles, relieving you of pain and discomfort.

[Creeper]

:O ! I just took the coolest bath you can ever imagine !!

[BertMacklinFBI]

if it worked then its fine

Pain killers, keep moving (don't sit around all day), stretching, take a warm bath.

And give your body a chance to rest, before go to the gym again. : )

[Creeper]

I can't.. I need to go tomorrow :(( .. I just need to get rid of this feeling to have some sleep :(

Eat cherries before each work out, they help with muscle pain.

[jamesdegod]

eat lots of protein and a lot of food in general.

if your still aching 3 days after your workout you aren't getting good enough nutrition

[Creeper]

I'm fat :3 .. Eating a lot is one of my favourite hobbies ^_^

[jamesdegod]
