"Hi, my name is Sue Conrad, I'm going to show you how to ease sore muscles. Of course, there's many medications, sports cream and massage therapists that help, can help ease your sore muscles.

Another option you can do is stretch these sore muscles, these muscle groups that you've actively used and you could gentle stretching to stretch out these muscles, to help moves the lactic acid through these muscles and relieve the soreness. Okay, in addition to stretching these sore muscles, you can also walk ten to fifteen minutes, maximum thirty minutes per day to help increase the circulation of the muscles in the body.
