one thing I do, you will not feel like doing it after a hard day, but do some exercise go for a walk or a bike ride, I find its like a cool down I don't seize up and am not as sore the next day.

Having just had a bad car crash i know all about feeling sore at the moment. Try some chelated magnesium tablets, they help the signal the muscles to relax, nurofen tablets have a anti-inflamatory component to them some are the better pain killer. But the biggest thing helping me at the moment is going to a Physio, amasing how good you feel when a pretty lady gives you a massage!!!

Cant go to Bali for the Oli rub Dean....

this stuff has put a stop to all my muscle soreness, and i had it bad, water isnt good enough for a working drink, you need to replace the salts & minerals.

After big days - before cooling down walk the dog,do a few stretches,have a few bevvies,apply rapigel on sore spots before bed.

It's called getting older. Better get used to it. You'll really know about it if you start getting joint problems or a chronic illness as well; trust me ;)

You big baby. Toughen up and drink some concrete will you.

Strong stretches, yoga does the trick.

Definitely give Magnesium a try. I used to be sore all the time but magnesium has helped and now I can have a massive day and not feel too bad. Still a bit sore but nothing like I used to be.
Staminade is actually high in Magnesium which is why it is good for soreness too. I used to get a lot of cramps after a big day and magnesium also fixed that. Also used to pull muscles when playing sport and it stopped happening when I started taking Magnesium. One of my clients is a naturopath and told me all about how it works.

A hot spa does wonders after a hard days yakka.:expert

Cramps equals low magnesium levels, but be careful with that magnesium intake. Over do it and you will be on the throne a way lot more than what you would desire!!!!!!!!!

Love your work guys... Its just muscle soreness after ....Not cramps or what ever...
