Dropping acid
May 25, 2010
If you’ve ever worked out intensely, you know how lactic acid buildup in your muscles can make you feel — sore and stiff, just plain uncomfortable. (I’ve had to crawl up stairs after half-marathon training runs as my legs were so stiff I can barely bend at the knees). Turns out massage–commonly thought to be helpful in removing lactic acid from muscles–isn’t the greatest solution to your soreness, says a Queen’s University study.

I’m still going to get massages. Maybe even more now just to prove a point. Lactic acid, here I come!

I agree–you show that lactic acid who’s the boss!
