Tips for sore muscles?

[Dredly]

So I went with my 2 in shape friends today for a bit of a hike... about 14 miles give or take... needless to say I'm a wee bit sore.

The issue is I don't like being sore or missing work outs, got any tips to get my legs functional again?

bengay works well, but stinks!

IBUPROFEN. It is an anti-inflammatory. It will reduce the soreness and inflamation in the muscles. You can take up to 800 mg without a doctors order every four hours. Just make sure you eat something. It can be hard on an empty stomach. I live and swear by the stuff. It works!!!

all of the above, plus an epsom salt bath, and stretching. heat pads are good, too.

glutamine supplements or foods rich in it.. glutamine helps maintain cell volume and hydration, speeding up wound and burn healing and recovery from hard core workouts.

Get a big spatula and a jar of icy hot. Use the spatula to take a big scoop and quickly slather it all over your nutsack.
