Advil. Ice. Hot tub. Conditioning on your own in between practices once you are less sore.

Thanks so much the worse part is tryouts in 3 weeks

That feeling won't last 3 weeks. You'll be fine in a few days.

Or older. Aches and pains definitely come with being older.

CONDITION. CONDITION. CONDITION. The stronger your legs are, the less sore they'll be and the easier it'll be to tumble.

If you decide to take a break and wait until you feel better to start conditioning and working out again, not only will you be missing out on practice time, but it will take longer to heal. Put on some icy hot (MY BEST FRIEND), take some advil, and do the best thing for your legs: keep working them.

Make sure to stretch the night of and morning after an intense practice.... It will help with some of the sore muscles. They will still be sore....but don't give up and keep working them...icy hot, advil and hard work will continue to build up your strength, endurance and flexibility.

CP said on way home from practice tonight "Mom, I can't even move" Me: "Uh-huh." CP: "You don't even care?!" You can never move and you always hurt on the way home from practice, you're always better in the morning. Anything more than your average you can't walk and you don't know how you're going to get out of the car? Nope? You'll be alright then.

You can never practice too much. You should love and embrace every second of getting better. Pain is temporary.

there is a such thing as to much practice. we practice fore 3-4 hours and the last hour we start to lose concentration. And people start to get hurt

This is why we do the more "simple" things at end of long practises - cleaning up dance and conditioning like push ups, sit ups, sitting against the wall and these things.

I'd never practise the hardest stunt sequences or pyramid at the end of a 3 hour practise, but there are teams who can handle this and it's on the coach to decide if the athletes are able to do it safely or not.

But i get that after 4 hours of practise there will be more falls and this could lead to injuried.
I'd rather have 3 or 4 times a week for less hours than one or two long practises

We do full outs at the end. With arguably the hardest stunt sequence in the country

Cold therapy is always best for sore, inflamed muscles. In order to heal, inflammation must be brought down. There are some really good, body part specific wraps that come with 3 very concentrated gels. The company is called King Brand Healthcare, and the cold wraps are called 'ColdCure'.
