If you're working from home more, then hopefully you're getting out and exercising more. And if you're exercising more, you're probably dealing with muscle soreness. Congratulations! That means your muscles are growing.

Here's a no-nonsense guide to muscle soreness remedies:

• Increase your protein intake. Your muscles are sore because they're rebuilding, and they need protein to rebuild. Read up on protein sources to find the ones you prefer, and then establish a daily habit to keep your protein intake high.
• Take a bath with Epsom salt. It's not a miracle cure, but soaking a few times per week can help ease pain and soreness. As a bonus, taking a bath makes you relax, which means you can...
• Get more sleep. Sleeping is like pulling your muscles into the garage for repair.
• Remain active. Keep those sore muscles moving outside of your more intense workouts. Walking, stretching, yoga, and playing with your kids or pets at the park are just some of the ways you can keep those muscles from locking up after hours in your office chair.

To learn more about each of these and find any evidence you might need, head to your nearest search engine.

Keep up the exercising! You're doing great.
