Soreness

So its the wintertime and i only have 2 steady routines, downhill skiing and cross country skiing. These two sports dont really get me sore because im used to the workout. Occasionally however, i go to the gym or go to our indoor skatepark and ride bmx, and these two workouts just put me out the next day because of soreness. I was just wondering, other than doing them frequently, what are good ways to help soreness. I know stretching but is that like right before you do the workout, right afterwords, 30 minutes before or after etc? and like should you warm up before stretching?

stretch good then do a good cool down activity, like for riding your bike just stretch real good before ya ride home. or fo skiing just stretch good before ya last few runs and take um kinda easy. then just take a hot shower then use icy hot or somethign if needed. and stretch once again.

you'll be set for the next day for sure.

Regular stretching is incredibly helpful, I really need to do that more. Starting a LOW DOSE ibuprofen regimen during seasons that really get to you can help too, but it's not great for your stomach so ask your doctor and make sure to keep the dose low. But Ibuprofen does reduce swelling and inflammation after three days of use, which will help enormously with soreness.
