Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles.
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with Mineral Water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously. You must drink beyond your thirst to get the benefits of hydration and the real key is the Mineral Water.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.
500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.
Advil liqui capsules work very quickly on pain. Take them four times daily.

Gently stretch each muscle group for at least 60 seconds before and after your workouts
Begin and end every workout with an absurdly light load. If you’re about to run, start with 10 minutes of fast walking. If you’re about to lift weights, do a couple of speed sets using only the bar and going through the entire range of motion
Hydrate! Lots of water or an electrolyte containing sports drink
If weight training, stretch the target muscles between sets
Finish every workout (even weight training) with 10-15 minutes of light cardio. This gets the blood and lymphatic system flowing and will help eliminate waste products built up from the workout
Get a massage
Ice the worked muscle group immediately after especially hard workouts

STRETCH! and drink ALOT of water! it helps ALOT! stretch especially before you go to bed, because your leg muscles tend to get sorer when youre doing nothing. and, i usually take a cold bath, or a hot one with epson salt. it depends, sometimes icing my sore muscle or taking a cold bath helps, but sometimes a hot soak is better. try those. feel better! : )

Simple, eliminate the muscles! Actually you may not be drinking enough fluids when exercising.
