I know that some muscle soreness is unavoidable when you're trying to increase your fitness level. I'm even somewhat glad to experience it - since it means my muscles have been challenged and are currently trying to adapt.
It's part of training. My question is:

How do you deal with delayed onset muscle soreness? Do you take ibuprofen or other OTC pain reliever? Take a soak in a hot tub? Stretch more? Spend some time with Yoga practices? Meditation? Or just suck it up?

I'm curious.
