4. Heating Pad
For a quickie solution you can wet a wash cloth or hand towel and throw it in the microwave oven for 30 seconds or a minute, but if you want to have something a little more more permanent you can make your own heating pad. Take an old sock and fill it with rice and sew the end closed. Heat it in the microwave whenever you want to apply it to sore muscles. Always test to make sure anything like this is not too hot before you apply it to your body so you can avoid a nasty burn.
