Hydration: Pain of muscles after exercise occurs as a result of Lactic Acid buildup. The best way to clear the Lactic Acid is to drink lots of water to flush your muscle and system. Stretching and heat to affected area can also help alleviate some of the symptoms along with some anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
