Is it better to rest sore mussels or do light activity ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Muscle soreness: Muscle soreness is from Lactic Acid build up, light activity and good hydration will help it resolve. If pain, rest is best.

Combination: You do not want to tear the muscle . Ice may help early on, with some rest. Then resume workouts.
