If you are a single guy or gal and hit the gym... who will rub  your poor sore shoulders after you finish your workout??? What am I saying.. if you are in a relationship, your significant other probably won't want to massage away thise aches and pains for you either! GOOD NEWS!

It seems that moderate doses of caffeine — the equivalent of two cups of coffee — can cut post-gym muscle pain, suggests a new study.   I certainly do not want to encourage your caffeine addiction, especially if your New Year's Resolution was to cut it out. But hell. its an option.

If you are new to regular exercise, this may be something to consider. The researchers suggest the caffeine likely works by blocking the body’s receptors for adenosine, a chemical released in response to inflammation. It makes sense since much pain medication we take has caffeine in it as well.

So if you made 2 resolutions: one to exercise more and the second to cut out caffeine, maybe start with the exercise and wait to drop your cup of joe til next month :)
