I started working out my abs and upper body a while back twice a week and im usually sore a day or two after every work out. I recently joined track and because practice is everyday after school, my legs have been killing me and it seems like its something new everyday. Its nearly impossible to keep up with track and working out because im sore all over.
I stretch plenty of times a day to try to ease the pain because it hurts to walk. I also tried massaging my legs which helped and taking a hot bath which didnt help so much. Also, I think I strained one of my muscles today, and I iced it down for a while but it wasnt really helping. Is there anything that can be done to further help relax my muscles so they arent so sore all the time? Also, how do you treat a strained muscle?

use a muscle relaxer, use a heating pad and relax and dont move around as much. also take nice warm/hot showers to relax your muscles also.

Ice for the first 24 hours, Heat after that.

Try soaking in a bath with Epsom salts; they cure all kinds of ills.
