You crushed your workout, but now you can barely walk down the stairs, sit on the toilet, or lift your arms above your head. Congratulations, you’re experiencing a case of what is known to be DOMS, but somewhere in your mind, you’re thinking, “It’s working.” But what if it’s not? Lifters have long associated post-workout soreness, also known as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), with muscle growth and development. The logic seems sound: if it hurts, it works. However, the reality is much more nuanced. Feeling wrecked doesn’t guarantee gains; it may indicate that you didn’t prepare your body for…

We all know rest is key when it comes to dealing with constant body aches. The reality is, though, it’s sometimes hard to just take a break for yourself, especially if you’re always on the move like me. That’s why I rely on pain relief creams to ease the discomfort, so I can continue with my daily activities with no interruptions. They’re an easy-to-use, convenient, and effective option for busy people seeking immediate relief. I stumbled on the $8 Aspercreme Lidocaine Pain Relief Cream, which fellow Shape editors ranked one of the best options to try. Aspercreme Lidocaine Pain Relief…
It’s hard to know what to expect when you sign up to hike 100 miles with a group of strangers you’ve never met. There are only two guarantees: the way will be beautiful and the way will be hard. This summer, I’ll be trekking a long stretch of the John Muir Trail with a guided group from Wildland Trekking: Two weeks of alpine lakes, intense elevation gain (essentially 300 flights of stairs per day) and one major summit—Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48 states. It’s not my first time hiking, but it is my first time going…
Conner Curnick was a proud U.S. Navy officer, following in the footsteps of an established military family when a catalog of injuries caught up with the Southern Californian, leaving him unable to walk. With multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy now part of his daily life, the thought of squatting over 400 pounds must have seemed incomprehensible. And yet, through consistency and professional support, Curnick crushed his goal and took control of his fitness in the process. Here’s how he did it. Curnick served for four years as a U.S. Navy Sailor, and received deployments to Afghanistan and East…

If you hit snooze three times before dragging yourself to the coffee pot, it might be time to rethink your morning game plan. A solid recommendation is mindful movement, a strategic mix of mobility and light exercise that wakes up more than just your muscles. These movements can help increase blood flow, activate your nervous system, and, yes, ignite your metabolism before breakfast even hits the table. Starting your day with intention and movement sets the tone for everything that follows. When you gently challenge your body right away, you’re sending a message: “Let’s go.” This message primes your energy…
When it comes to pelvic floor health, women are typically not well educated about how their bodies function. From a young age we’re taught that vagina’s are dirty and a shameful part of our bodies. We’re told vaginas are smelly and gross by boys, then later men, who want to make out with us but don’t care much about our actual pleasure. When we go to doctors about peeing when we jump or painful sex, we’re often dismissed and told that these are normal things that happen in a woman’s body, so just get used to it, babe. Many women…
