I have a large amount of lactic acid that builds in my legs. what workouts are best for me?

Start slow & build: I would slowly begin a progressive program of aerobic exercise with minimal resistance over a 3 week period and continues with gradual increases in resistance thereafter. Don't over do it. Stay well hydrated.
