| Another workout. No joke. It resolves most, if not all of the pain. |

| Agree; keep moving. You’ll be fine. Often just means worked something in a different way. |

Inner thighs on fire. No pain, no gain, right? |

Walking. Cardio. It helps without working the muscles again too much. Yo I want some rest days between muscle groups being worked so they can heal.

No, not right. Muscle soreness is not an indicator of workout quality or effectiveness. I used to lift at a gym where the trainers would all do it, standard, compound lifts (bench press, squats, and deadlifts) for their own workouts. But with their clients they would do odd, ineffective isolation exercises that seemed designed to induce muscle soreness so clients would think they got a good workout. I saw lots of those clients never progress over several months. Meanwhile I was hardly ever sore and made steady progress with progressive overload and compound lifts. |

| More exercise. I like to alternate things like a barre class or vinyasa yoga in between other, more intense workouts. |

Not all the time. Sometimes you overdid it. Sometimes you did something new. Once you are in a pattern, you should not be sore and sore is not an indication of quality. I ignore strength training towards the end of a training cycle for my endurance events and once I start again, especially something new, I get sore. Always passes. I like the walking idea. |

| Swimming also a good one. It’s like one long ass dynamic stretching session. |

Agree with:
Drink water Apply Ice/cold. Try alternating with heat. Advil Keep moving Not a big fan of theragun for sore muscles. But do like vibrating tools. Second the earlier poster — according to current research, DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) does not directly correlate to strength gains. |

| A shake-out run often does the trick. |
