    Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
    Why Your Muscles Are Sore Post-Workout
     
    If you're new to fitness, you may be wondering why you're sore after a weight-training or cardio session. It could be a number of factors, including your previous level of fitness and activity, your age or the intensity of your workouts. Since this is the first time you have exercised - or it has been a while since you last worked out - it's likely that exercise will cause your muscles to become sore.

    This is because you are causing microscopic tears in your muscle fibers when you strength train or work muscles you've never worked before. The pain you're feeling post-exercise is from these minute tears and is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). This pain is normal and can last between 1-7 days following your workout. As these tears heal, your muscles will become stronger. Over time, your muscles will adapt and the soreness will lessen after your workouts.

    To minimize the chance of becoming sore, be sure you're allowing time to warm up, cool down and stretch properly before and after your workouts. Be sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day, and try to stay active on a weekly basis.

    To relieve soreness, keep your blood flowing by doing some light cardio, getting a massage, or any light physical activity. Even doing some of those unwanted house chores can help relieve a little of the pain.

    While attention in Calhoun county has been focused on the massive oil spill in Marshall, on the same day as the leak, July 25, a 45-year-old Battle Creek man was brutally stabbed in Leila Arboretum.

    Now Battle Creek police say the attack was likely a hate crime, reports the Battle Creek Enquirer. Investigators have informed the FBI of the case.

    Here's what is known now. The victim met the man - how is still unknown - and says he was forced to drive the man to Leila Arboretum, a park in Battle Creek. Once in the park, the victim was stabbed multiple times in the head and neck.

    The victim's screams drew the attention of a witness who was in the park. The witness went to the site of the attack, and the attacker told the witness the situation was a "domestic dispute," reports the Enquirer. Shortly after this, the attacker fled in the victim's car. The car has not been recovered, but the victim's wallet and checkbook have allegedly turned up in Charlotte, a small town 22 miles north of Battle Creek in Eaton County.

    Police believe the attack might be a hate crime because on July 26, the day after the stabbing, an anonymous post appeared on Craigslist. The post, titled "I warned you, you dumb queer," included the following statement, "I e-mailed and said I have something … but you did not think it was a knife did you. Now you are in the hospital and your car is in the river. I warned you."

    Once that information appeared in the Enquirer, a second anonymous post appeared on Craigslist. This time the poster denied responsibility in the assault.

    The post was filled with anti-gay slurs and references to AIDS. The writer claims that the previous post was "to keep the fags out of the parks, and I am the one that did it. It is not safe to take children to parks or for a walk in the woods without running into a dick sucking party."

    The post has since been removed from the site.

    Police continue to investigate the attack. While Michigan has no hate crimes law, a federal law signed by President Barack Obama could be used to prosecute a suspect if investigators and the FBI believe the evidence shows the assault was a hate crime.
