    Your muscle will become accustomed to your work load and the soreness will be far less intense after future session. Best thing at the moment is to rest ..... If you have soreness in your joints and tendons after working out Glucosamine Sulphate works wonders in my experience.

    I love that feeling...maybe I'm strange. Makes me feel like I've done something right!

    If it's in your legs a light walk should help. Also stretch those muscles. when I had really bad DOMS from squats I would just do warmup squats without any weight, and by the time I was done warming up I the pain was way more manageable.

    Light cardio or movement to promote blood flow

    Movement. If it's unbearable, NSAIDs and an epsom salt bath.

    Totally agree!! I went for a walk this morning before work - I guess it's when I'm sitting at my desk and standing up/sitting down that it hurts the most
