After my gruelling Karate training I sometimes felt like a human punch bag. I used to go for a relaxing swim which helped a lot.

Massage therapists, sports creams and medications are available to relieve sore, tight muscles. Before spending money, try these simple remedies at home.
Steps:
1. Apply an ice pack for 20 minutes to any area that hurts. Repeat this every hour until the pain subsides.
2. Stretch the sore area gently to rid your body of lactic acid, which contributes to the pain.
3. Walk 15 to 30 minutes at least once a day to increase circulation throughout your body. This will also help deliver much-needed oxygen to the sore muscles.
4. Drink a minimum of eight glasses (64 oz.) of water daily - more if you're active - to hydrate your body.
5. Avoid strenuous activity as long as you're in pain.
Tips:
Be sure to warm up before exercising and stretching.
For people with chronic conditions or continual episodes of pain, heat can work better than ice (if you are not treating an acute injury). Try a heating pad, or a warm shower or bath.
Taking an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen, may also reduce muscle soreness.

Jacuzzi first. then massage. then try to get a Swiss cream made of juniper, Swiss Just sells it you can find a distributor online www.swissjust.com It is the best line for skincare and skin healing products taht are trully not filled wiht artificial anythihng but pure botanical extracts that work wonders on the body.
Juniper is perfect for sore muscles. Believe me, I suffer from a med.condition called cystic fibrosis, i cough a lot to the points of nearly reaping apart my muscles, the only thing i can tolerate and gets rid of the pain is JUNIPER CREAM FROM SWISS JUST. I have used it for a decade now. They also sell the Juniiper bath extract and that is for hydrotherapy which would speed up yr recovery greatly.l
Trust me, there is nothing in the market like these one product. Its directly from Switzerland factories and the highest quality standards.

hi give it at least a day but as you have just started there is no need to waith til the soreness has gone. as the other anwser has said - creatine is a useful supplement but i would wait a bit until your more into your routine. You will make good gains without any supplements at the mo as you have just started. When that tails off then try the creatine. also, when you get a bit more serious never train whilst your muscles are sore.

As a sporty sort, I would suggest a combined attack of:
- a nice hot bath
- a massage
- feet up with a nice drink
- ibuprofen if there is any inflammation
- gentle stretches the next day
- generally increase the amount of stretching you do on a daily basis (to keep your muscles more supple)
- learn not to rest too much out of season!
- drink more liquids in training
- run as quick as you can in training away from the forwards so you aren't so bruised e.g. adjust your laces more often!!
Enjoy the season!

Rest for a day and then train for a day. And so on. The muscles hurt because of micr tears to them. If you rest for a day ot 2 these heal up and the muscle gets stronger. After continually doing this you will build up tolerance and it won't hurt as much.

Consume Protien rich foods. Try on "http://www.amway.com"
they have a well balanced protien rich booster for atheletics.
And ensure that you get a good sleep. This metabolises the muscle tissues, which need to get rested.
Before bedtime, read "RUGBY JOKES" "SON OF RUGBY JOKES" " RUGBY JOKES AGAIN". They are so funny, it will
make you totally relaxed.
All the best.

BCAA "s (Branched Chain Amino Acids), Antioxidants, (Vitamin A -C -E and Selenium) and Glutamine, have all been shown to increase exercise capacity, and aid in recovery.
I take all three and recover enough to work out 6 times a week.
And don't forget REST, get enough sleep.
Good luck with your Rugby, hope you win.
