You gave it your all in that workout class. You know because your sore, aching muscles are sending you not-so-subtle reminders every time you move.

The next item on your fitness agenda should focus on recovery and soothing those post-workout aches and pains — and that's where your bathtub comes into play.

Fill up your tub with warm water to help relax stiff muscles and soothe discomfort, and upgrade the experience by sprinkling in a fragrant bath soak or some bath salts.

(Disclaimer: There is no sound scientific evidence that Epsom salts reduce pain, but they are often praised for alleviating aches.)
