Prevent lactic acid buildup to avoid the pain (Score:1)

I'm in that same process. I take an aspirin right after workout and found that it helps, but keep in mind that I use it as a blood thinner rather than as a pain reliever, so Tylenol won't work. Working out a little bit every day also helps to prevent lactic acid buildup. Try some DDR or another light cardio activity on weekends. Even walking a little bit helps. My total so far after one week: 3lb. I think now I deserve some pizza. ;-)

  Some people say that the pain is really (as you would think) from muscle fibres being torn apart, and not from the acid.
