What do you do for sore muscles?? 90% of the time I just tough it out, but If theres some ancient chinese remedy for it I'd love to know

take a nap or... just.... chill... i dunno... :eep:

Yeah, sometimes I get those from typing too much. :(

Sorry, I don't know. ;D

I have a muscle cream that works fine ass.

Drink lots of water, take a pain reliever (advil, ibuprofen, etc...), and be sure to keep working out that muscle. If you got sore muscles from doing pushups, do some more pushups.

Beat me to it. :p

Just do more strenuous physical activity if you have muscle tissue damage. This rebuilds the damaged muscle fibres that are causing the pain in the first place.

To avoid it, I always warm down well, to fully drain the lactic acid from my muscles after activity.

Yes, what Doc and Face have said. Keep working those muscles, but not overworking them.

In order not to get muscles that are too sore in the first place though if you've been working out, make sure you take the time to cool down and move around just by walking, etc. instead of just sitting down and relaxing. I don't have the specific information in front of me, but the muscle's reaction to a sudden stop after exercise is to get sore. :)

It's because after you exercise some protein forms on the muscle tissue and if you just sit down the protein will prevent oxygen from flowing throughout your muscle. At least that's what I remember from Health class.

Yams hit the nail on the head.

Walk it off.

Don't exercise in the first place, problem solved.

i like having sore muscles. it's like your reward for hard work.

If your muscles hurt from exercise, then spend a good long time stretching after your workout, before you've had a chance to cool down. Works for me. I recently did an army obstacle course and forgot to stretch; everything hurt like billio for a week.

Yeah, I did that a week ago and I've only just stopped hurting. I hate being impaitient.
