Muscles aching after working out

[xCptMorganx]

If you just started working out you will be sore and there's not much you can do about it. A protein shake (and a small healthy meal) right after working out definitely helps. When you work out your body is craving protien for 45 min to an hour afterwards and by not feeding it you are giving up some of the benefits of working out. It would also help to have another shake at some other time in the day maybe 4 - 8 hours after the first one.

EDIT: I saw in Rearden's post he mentioned drinking plenty of water, this is VERY important.
