Ok so this is my second day and Its really worse my neck feels like its pulling my shoulders and it hurts! When I walk my calfs and thighs hurt., I did the streaches before I went and took a warm shower...Oh and I'm going again.my mom said my body will be warm so it won't hurt . I'm thinking about taking something called NatuRelef do those work?

A couple of things. First you have to make sure that you stretch the proper amount before you work out next time. So today stretch before you go. Even if they have a few stretching warm ups there, stretch at home in areas where you're sore today.

And I think the best thing to actually get rid of sore muscles is to shower. The warm water actually loosens you up and flushes out lactic acid. Lactic acid building up is what causes muscle soreness. So try to take a little longer shower before you go.

No, no, no, no, no.. Your muscles are sore because in the exercises you're literally breaking them down. It takes up to 5 days to muscles to fully recover and there's no way to make it happen faster. You need to make sure that your body has enough protein and vitamins to rebuild the muscles. The stretching and showering and massages do help, but don't remove the problem completely. If you just start doing the exercises regularly your muscles are going to be less and less sore every time.

You can do some stretches on the affected muscle. I heard that there are some lotion that helps reduce muscle sore but I haven't try them before.

do a some short stretches and afterward do a long session of stretches. it helped me when I was doing cheer-leading.

Stretching and foam rolling are your best bets, as well as rest and protein.

Rolling your muscles is one of the best kept secrets body builders use to recover quicker.
