Some ways to recover after a night of dancing? Muscles are still sore days after

This individual went to a festival and danced for 3 days straight, and is now sore from all the dancing.

They wanted to know what can they do before and after to help minimize the soreness?

In the exercise and weightlifting community, we call this DOMS. Delayed onset muscle soreness.

It means you're pushing yourself and getting stronger! The best thing to do is to eat well, rest, and continue training. DOMS should stop occurring as your body gets used to the level of work. So stay hydrated, massage the sore areas, and stay active. Spending a couple of hours a couple of times a week social dancing shouldn't be too much for your body to get used to.

Try drinking water before, during, and after dancing. You might be sweating your hydration away. You could also bring electrolyte water or Gatorade to drink throughout the night.

One of the best things you can do is light exercise the day after. Legs are easy because you can just go for a walk. For arms and shoulders, you can do some stretching and simple calisthenics. Stretching will increase your blood flow, decrease soreness, and actually increase your flexibility and range of motion over time.

After a couple of weeks, your body should get used to the dancing

Go walking on a daily basis and if possible implement a weekly weight training program.
