Warm soaks
A warm bath is a time-honoured, relaxing way to unwind tired legs after a big day. Many people add a scoop of Epsom bath salts to make it feel like more of a treat.
It’s simple, inexpensive and genuinely pleasant - which is why it never goes out of fashion.
Self-massage tools
A handheld massage gun has become a popular bit of home kit for a spot of self-massage on tired-feeling muscles. Used gently on the large muscle groups, many people find it a comfortable way to relax after training.
A dab of a warming or cooling muscle rub is another old favourite some people like to finish with.
Keep it gentle
Muscle care should feel good, not painful. Go easy, avoid bones, joints and any injured areas, and stop if anything hurts. If you have a persistent ache or a specific injury, it’s worth getting it looked at properly rather than working through it.
