Alternate?

I perfer a sauna... ice cold shower/sauna/ice cold shower go home.

Try and see for yourself.

I personally like hot tubs best, but not public ones.

If they're already sore then yeah, heat is the answer. Which one? I take a hot bath every week 2 days after legs, but have never tried the others....Let us know what you find is best, if you do experiment with this!

I heard hot bath with some sort of Salt - epson or something I dunno...I heard that really helps, never tried though.

Epsom salt . . you can actually mix it with water and drink it. Works great as a laxative
