However, in most cases, muscles will usually need 48 -72 hours of recovery time. If the exercises are low-intensity, such as walking or yoga, the muscles may only need a single day of rest (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6142015\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_Workout_if_Im_Sore_After_2_Days\"><\/span><b>Should I Workout if I\u2019m Sore After 2 Days?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s natural to be sore after a workout and some people experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that may not manifest for 48 hours. In many cases, you can and should alleviate muscle soreness with active recovery exercises such as stretching, walking, or yoga. However, it\u2019s important to listen to your body, and if it\u2019s incredibly sore, it likely needs a little more time to recover. In this case, focus on what helps muscle recovery, such as proper hydration, protein intake, massaging, and cold baths to relieve discomfort (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/326892\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2949&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Recover_Faster_From_Workouts\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80084\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cover-gym-workout-women-6-1024x640.png\" alt=\"how to recover faster from workouts\" width=\"770\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cover-gym-workout-women-6-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cover-gym-workout-women-6-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cover-gym-workout-women-6-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cover-gym-workout-women-6-1720x1075.png 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cover-gym-workout-women-6.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Speed_up_Recovery_After_a_Workout\"><\/span><b>Can I Speed up Recovery After a Workout?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, there are several steps you can take to help reduce soreness and speed recovery after an intense workout. However, it\u2019s important to remember that exercise causes microscopic tears in the muscle that can lead to soreness and these tears take time to heal (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5932411\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/healthy-fitness-meals\/\">Healthy Fitness Meals to Fuel Your Workout Every Day<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Speed_Up_My_Workout_Recovery\"><\/span><b>How Can I Speed Up My Workout Recovery?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Hydration<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying hydrated is incredibly important to speed muscle healing. It also helps flush out toxins, which keeps the muscles working properly. Most people should aim for 90-120 ounces per day, but if the weather is warm or your workout is particularly intense, you should try to drink a little more (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/fitness\/fitness-basics\/staying-hydrated-staying-healthy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Nutrition<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper nutrition is essential to a speedy recovery. Protein and carbohydrates replenish energy stores and help with muscle repair. For optimal recovery, you should eat within 30-60 minutes post-workout and focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods, such as grilled chicken, salmon, <a href=\"https:\/\/recipes.betterme.world\/meal-plan\/greek-yogurt-with-flax-seeds-berries-and-cinnamon\/\">Greek yogurt<\/a>, eggs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/protein-shakes-for-muscle-gain\/\">protein shakes<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10255595\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasons why BetterMe is a safe bet: a wide range of calorie-blasting workouts, finger-licking recipes, 24\/7 support, challenges that\u2019ll keep you on your best game, and that just scratches the surface! <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2949&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Recover_Faster_From_Workouts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Start using our app <\/a>and watch the magic happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Sleep<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body heals while you sleep, so it\u2019s important to make sleep a priority.

Within 30 minutes of your workout, submerge your body in 50-60-degree water for 5-15 minutes. The cold water constricts blood vessels to prevent swelling and flush out toxins. After you get out of the bath, your blood vessels expand, which increases oxygen and nutrient flow to muscles (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5285720\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Compression Wear\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compression care involves applying controlled pressure to muscles using compression garments, wraps, or other means. It helps increase blood circulation, reduce swelling, and speed up muscle recovery after intense workouts. Many athletes, runners, and lifters use compression socks, sleeves, and pneumatic compression boots to enhance recovery and prevent soreness (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.princetonmedicine.com\/blog\/the-power-of-compression-therapy-for-sports-recovery-boosting-performance-and-healing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you\u2019re a workout beast or just a beginner making your first foray into the world of fitness and dieting \u2013 BetterMe has a lot to offer to both newbies and experts! <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2949&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Recover_Faster_From_Workouts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Install the app and experience the versatility first-hand!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Recovery_Method_Is_the_Fastest\"><\/span><b>What Recovery Method Is the Fastest?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fastest recovery methods depend on your physical makeup and the type of soreness and muscle strain.

To find the best option for you, experiment with combining one or more of those recovery methods with the proper diet and rest (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5932411\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/pilates-body-vs-gym-body\/\">Pilates Body Vs Gym Body: A Clear Comparison of Results and Approach<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Legs_Take_So_Long_to_Recover\"><\/span><b>Why Do Legs Take So Long to Recover?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legs can take longer to heal as they are some of the largest muscles in the body. Therefore, they can contain many more micro tears than a smaller muscle. The quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes also endure high levels of stress and strain daily from simply moving around throughout your day, and when you add in heavy lifts such as squats and deadlifts, these muscles will create even more microscopic tears than they would if you weren\u2019t exercising. They also get less active recovery time as we use them so often (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acsm.org\/docs\/default-source\/files-for-resource-library\/a-road-map-to-effective-muscle-recovery.pdf?sfvrsn=a4f24f46_2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_I_Do_on_Rest_Days\"><\/span><b>What Should I Do on Rest Days?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rest days are just as important as workout days.

However, if your shoulders remain sore for more than 72 hours, you may be overtraining or not providing them with adequate recovery. The shoulders are involved in many upper-body lifts and functional movements you perform throughout the day.
