soreness
ok I worked out my legs yesterday and I have pt this weekend and my legs are sore any quick fixes?
Xtend works wonders.
Water, protein, stretch, and walk around is my only advice. It always seems to me that if I use the muscles a little it cuts down on the soreness.

An easy workout. 30 minute spin on the bike, an easy jog, laps in the pool. Don't go hard. Just move.
My typical ironman Monday (a recovery day) was a mile-ish swim with a lot of buoy time and a very easy 45-60 minute spin on my bike. The ride was pretty slow for me - like 14-16 mph compared to 20ish mph on a typical medium-long ride.
Gatoraid after working out helps.
as boring as it is, walking, light jog, elliptical after workouts (30 mins is perfect, at least for myself) helps your body by burning the lactic acid up, and eliminating it, thereby decreasing the soreness in your muscles.
Have a recovery shake within a half hour of a lifting workout, with simple sugars and whey protein. Adding BCAA's and creatine will help also.
My new shake is one scoop of ON Whey, vanilla, a tbsp of brown sugar, and a raw egg, shaken up with a couple ice cubes. Its like drinking cake batter, so freaking good.
Sleep, stretching, and moving around, take a long hot shower to get your blood flowing, all these things will help.
