I finally got up on one of those kettlebells and started using them about 2-3 times a week. Just friday I did 2 sets of the Turkish Get Ups, and since Saturday I've been sore to the point my legs try to lock up on me during simple activities like walking.

Is there any specific foods (other than bananas) or suppliments that I could take that would speed up the healing process? If possible, I'll just try to incorporate them into my diet more so I have less down time between workouts.

Glutamine should help a bit, but most importantly... stretch, stretch, stretch thoroughly.

Gotta give your muscles the tools to rebuild and recover.

i take l-glutamine before and after my workouts, plus with my first meal on off days. seems to work for me, where i'm not that sore.

Thanks for the input, everybody. I'm going to look into a few of these next time I go to get my vitamins. . I'm past due for a re-up anyhow.
