Hi Kim, I wanted to ask you.. Sometimes after a good work out I feel tempted to take some tylenol or something like that (not all the time! of course) what do you think?
Do you feel the need to take a tylenol or aspirin because you're getting sore? Or is it because you are scared of getting sore? Is it because someone once taught you to pop the anti-inflammatory as part of your post-workout routine? Before I give you my thoughts, I'm curious to know what's the reason? :)
I think every now and then, taking a tylenol is okay. You don't wanna become dependent upon it, of course... but a little bit of a pain reliever for those absolutely painful days isn't horrible. Of course, on a more regular basis, proper nutrition and sufficient rest will be the best way to recover from a particularly brutal workout - and a bit of suffering through discomfort never hurt anyone ;) Thanks for the question!

Oh, yeah.. I mean the day after a good work out, when you are hurting and start walking funny and stuff..

Wow, excellent. Found this by chance and it was exactly what has been at the back of my mind to find for two weeks now.
