muscle aches
please tell me there is a magic pill/cream whatever that makes your muscles stop hurting after working out! :P
I worked out on Wed. for the first time in like a month..I worked HARD too. I think I may have over done it. My legs are killing me! Especially my inner thighs! Even my abs are hurting..2 DAYS LATER! WTF!?! I've never had my abs hurt this long!

Re: muscle aches
if you go to nature store that sells bath salts, I have one that is for sore muscles and it works well. i also take motrin for the pain.

Soak in a hot tub with Epsom salts. Rinse off well and use TigerBalm.
What you are experiencing is a high concentration of lactic acid. Drinking some cytovol will help "oxidate" your body and help the acid break down. While someone is rubbing the TigerBalm on you, take long, deep breaths. Deep breathing also fills your body with oxygen and will aid in breaking down lactic acid.
It's also a sign that you may have worked a "little" too much...you need to give your body some rest, so keep working out, but target the opposite muscles this time (albeit, maybe not as hard. ;) ).
