    More movement helps, ice baths, stay hydrated and lastly you can try ibuprofen.

    Make sure to stretch properly afterwards. A lot of people neglect this step and it's really priceless in helping recovery.

    Another thing you should be doing is taking in high amounts of protein (protein shake) this will help reduce soreness but most importantly support muscle growth :)

    Ensure you have a solid protein intake plan.
    Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate more.
    Ice baths are strange at first, a bit uncomfortable even. They are so worth it though.
    NSAIDs, take as needed, but a word of caution. If you have GERD, ulcers, any serious GI issues consult with a medical professional first.

    Like the other guys said, increase your protein consumption to spur protein synthesis and it will heal your muscles quicker. Also, flexall will help and make you smell minty fresh.

    What kind of muscle soreness do you have from doing cardio & speed 1.0??? Are you sure it's not an injury?

    Hello! I also experienced soreness. I had to increase my protein foods. And for the really sore days I'd drink a protein shake along with high protein diet. I suggest try increasing your protein intake. Read articles, they're many sites that help you figure out what your protein intake should be.
