pdoull 2 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Suimasen. Just wondering what others do for muscle soreness after you have done a big session on the snow and know its going to be another epic day tommorrow? At this point in time I take Magnesiun tablets as a supplement Fish oil for joints Combine with 2 x Asahi 1 x long onsen / with stretching (discretely) & plenty of rest Link to post Share on other sites

mitchpee 10 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The most important thing you say in there you say (discretely) after? Stretching helps the most for me. Onsen + stretching will be the best medicine for helping muscles heal. Beer just tastes good Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Onsen is the best on that list. Stretching before the onsen, long soak, then stretch afterwards, then you'll be good to go the next day, oh and a good nights kip! Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Key thing to stop sore muscles for me is wearing compression leggings during and after skiing. Works a treat. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Despite having my own onsen I'm not a big fan of public onsens. All the undressing and dressing and going back outside and dealing with snow on the car or whatever.....I much rather prefer to soak in the tub at the hotel, put on a bath robe and veg out with some good quality Japanese tv and glass of wine..

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 A good Pre-ski fitness programme with regular expereince of DOMS through the year, helps you not be a sook and wimp out Stretching is excellent. Warming up sore bits is also key - few warm up runs and the pain is almost forgotten. And hydration. Link to post Share on other sites
Besniwod 6 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I always found dousing myself in the blood of the innocent worked rather well. Other than that, I try to do dynamic stretches (keeping the limbs moving and not holding a stretch in a fixed position as this will have a negative impact on your performance) before the days skiing and static stretching (stretches where you hold a stationary position) at the end of it. As much as I like beer, alcohol will slow your recovery period so it is best not to drink after exercising. Even though I don't really follow the last point too avidly, you will have a better time on the following day if you don't drink or at least only drink a little. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Beer is the default drink. If you need something else, it has to be named, ie. wine, sake, soju, whisky Link to post Share on other sites

Besniwod 6 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Haha, I didn’t realise mentioning the reduction of alcohol intake would be tantamount to stealing a beer filled sippy cup from a toddler with shaky hands outstretched. I especially like how the controversial part was about drinking less, not bathing in the blood of the innocent. One must have one's standards I suppose. Thanks for the laugh guys. I have always rather relished being a heathen, thanks for that too. Link to post Share on other sites
