Stretching is a great way to relieve soreness. When you stretch you elongate your muscles and allow blood to run more efficiently. When your blood runs better through your muscles it gets rid of lactic acid which is the waste product of hard training. A build up of lactic acid in the muscles is what makes you sore.
I suggest for anyone that is serious about training and maintaining a healthy life to dedicate at least one day to stretching. You should stretch at least 20 min. There are many benefits that come out from stretching. Your blood can pump through your body more efficiently allow for your muscles to recover and rebuild themselves faster. It also prevents injury and sprains.
Another succesful way to relieve lactic acid from the muscles is taking a light jog. Jogging increase the rate in which your blood pumps which helps your muscles recover. It also helps you burn extra calories and help your cardiovascular system. Just dont overdo it.
