    the reason your muscles are sore are from a lactic acid build up that comes from wt. training and intense exercise. I know it feels like they will explode if you do cardio, but that is THEE best way to work that acid out of the muscle! drink lots of water + take a long brisk walk + an ibuprofin to reduce inflammation and relax muscle = less muscle soreness!

    Depending what you did soreness also comes from micro tears in the muscle fibers that lead to healing and a stronger muscle preparing to tolerate the activity that caused the soreness to start with. But shkaki is right on, more movement will actually make your muscles feel better and drink your agua!!!

    That's why protien is important, to rebuild and repair those muscles

    That's right, amino acids are the building blocks for protein. It's why with p90x there is a peak recovery drink to replenish the muscle tissue and facilitate optimal healing at a more rapid rate, and the church said....amen
