It won't take long to feel immense relief, when you're working your legs harder and your back less.
Remember to change your exercises every 4-6 weeks. Give your muscles new challenges. Avoid injury and repetition.
Progress gradually. But remember that you can use heavier weights for larger muscles like legs. If you have a preexisting back injury, use caution and seek guidelines from your orthopedic doctor (or physical therapist).
Tone your legs, all the way to relief!

There are many styles of massage therapy to enjoy. However, when muscles are sore from working too hard, they usually need just smoothe, fluid Swedish massage. It can be light or medium pressure, but avoid firm pressure (or Deep Tissue therapy) when you are feeling sore. Your body needs to recover.
Techniques of Swedish massage are most often those studied in massage and pain relief research.
