Help with muscle soreness
What are your guys' tricks for dealing with muscle soreness? I am still sore from my 4.2 mile walk on Sunday, and a bath isn't helping. I will attempt to use my moist heat pad tonight and see if that makes a difference.

stretching before and after a work out. also stretch while you are sore, it will REALLY hurt during the stretch but then you wont be nearly as sore (or not sore at all) for the rest of the day.

where I'm sore is the sides of my butt (close to the thigh area). I'm not sure how to stretch there.

sit in a straddel position and slowly move your chest towards the floor keeping your legs and knees on the floor. remember to exhale as you stretch foward.
 this could also help:

to get an additional stretch, in the second picture instead of just leaning foward a bit, try to touch your feet to your forehead.

DOMS is going to pretty much set in no matter what you do the only way to beat it would be not to push yourself so hard, your body is not use to that work load.

RICE- Rest Ice Compression and Elevation. When my legs hurt I used a frozen gel pack. Before I bought the gels, I used frozen strawberries. Ice right after exercise.
