Since it's been awhile from when I rode last, during my first rides I noticed my legs ached terrible. I didn't even go 2 miles before I started to feel a lot of discomfort. I realize that my legs are building up a lot of lactic acid. So I did some research this morning on how to deal with it. Obviously the number one thing is to get into shape and stay there. I came up with these 13 steps to reduce lactic acid in the legs:


1. Stay Dynamic To Reduce The Buildup Of Lactic Acid In Your Muscles
2. Use Baking Soda
3. Consume Fatty Acids
4. Have An Intake Of B Vitamins
5. Be Careful When Lifting Weights
6. Cooling Down
7. Stretching Before Any Workout
8. Warm Up Prior To Any Exertion
9. Stay Hydrated
10. Breathe Deeply
11. Workout Frequently
12. Slow Down When You Feel A Hit
13. Increase Your Intake Of Magnesium

Is there anything one can add to this list? The one thing I will not enjoy is drinking baking soda in water.
