That is the feeling of a good workout. Welcome to the burn.
The soreness will subside within about 36 to 48 hrs. That is the muscles that are sore and nothing else. Just feed them good food lots of protein as that is what feeds the muscles. If you take a protien shake within 45 min of post workout, you will help feed the muscles. Some people are not satisfied if they don't feel that pain. To answer your question, ibuprofen will work. As you train you will get less and less sore.
Good to hear its successfull keep up the good work, and welcome to freetrainers.

Are you feeling pain, like sharp pain, or a general discomfort and aching? Soreness and stiffness is bound to happen, but you shouldn't really be in so much pain that you can't work, especially sleep. Sharp or unbearable pain is something that you should discuss with a doctor. Are you drinking enough water- I find that I'm much more sore if I work out without enough hydration in my body. As for Ibuprofen, it's your best bet because it acts as a mild anti-inflammatory, but always take it with food. I suggest booking an hour with a certified trainer who can walk you through the routine you've selected, and make sure that you are doing everything safely and in the way that will most benefit you. Good luck!
