Question:
Will swimming hurt my sore calf muscles?
I went running in the gym yesterday for too long. Today my calf muscles are sore. What exercise can I do today that won't irritate them? I thought maybe the breaststroke since I mainly use my arms. Thanks for any answers.
Answers:
Pretty much any low impact exercise should help with your sore muscles. Walking or swimming would be fine. The soreness is from the build up of lactic acid in your muscles - you will feel less sore tomorrow if you get your muscles warmed up and gently worked out today - it will help release the acid from your muscles.
Good Luck!
