I have been working out intensely over the past several weeks. As a result, I'm looking better and feeling sore. My question is, are there things I could do to not be so sore after my workouts. I did legs two days ago and I still feel like jello.
Stop the workouts it's bad for you. Most exercisers seem to die young - there is a village in Italy with the oldest average life span and they all exercise very lightly.

try eating some bananas for the jello feeling in your legs and hydrate and if you access to hot tub or water masager

Make sure you eat enough to recover, especially proteins. If you do serious weight lifting, 1g of protein / 1 lb lean body weight is a good start. Also drink a lot of water.
You can also take alternate hot/cold showers. Hot for 1 minute, cold for 1 minute, etc.
Another thing you can try is a foam roller to massage your muscles. I haven't tried it myself, but apparently it works wonder for muscle soreness.

to delay muscle soreness you should stretch the muscles for you have just worked for 10 mins after your workout to reduce doms also you can take an ice cold bath or shower which gets rid of all the toxins left after excersise remember to warm up correctly though prior to your workouts and also stretch muscles prior to workout.

Stop working out and drink wine and party lol

Bananas are good to keep the potassium up, and of course eat something high in protein, because that is what your body uses to build muscle. Your body will adapt to the soreness. I have worked out for a number of years, and I am to the point that I feel a constant twinge of soreness and actually crave it. Working out lowers your blood pressure which is important to having a long healthy life. And it makes you look a lot better and feel better about yourself.
I'm feeling better already

What workouts are we talking about here?
Anything that does impact to the joints is going to be harder on your body and muscles. Swimming, cycling, rowing etc are non-impact work-outs.
You should stretch after the workout whilst you are still warm. Make sure your diet complements your activities.

Good replies (most lol). I will not echo what has already been stated, but I will warn to make yourself take OFF DAYS! Your body needs them and if you don't take them, you will hit a wall where you stop seeing gains and you actually work against yourself. So get in the habit of taking those off days now if you are not already. It is easy to get into a desire to work out every day, and that is not good (if you are SERIOUSLY working out).
Like Buz, I am to the point where I crave to 'feel' my body and some sign that I have been working out. It is hard to describe to people that need, and how you NEED to "feel" your muscles and body when you are doing nothing, but I have it and it sounds like Buz does as well. And when you don't, it makes you feel odd.

If you are sore two days after a workout and you have been doing it for several weeks you may be pushing too hard and risking injury. You may try taking a bath with Epsom salts which helps leach lactic acid from the body and this will lessen the soreness. I would avoid any pain meds (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, ASA) as these will mask pain and could lead to injury. To check if you are overtraining take your resting heart rate (first thing when you wake up)..if your heart rate is elevated you are overtraining...
and good for you for pushing it!

A good protein shake with bananas and strawberries and organic peanut butter always works for me.

1g of protein per lb of lean body weight may seem excessive but it is in the right direction. Also, one thing to consider is that protein in your stomach (generally speaking) digests at a rate of about 35g/3 hours (basically meaning to get enough protein in your diet, eating smaller but more often is ideal).
Bananas are also great post-workout because they are a high GI value carb source. Not to mention they are chalk full of potassium which aids in electrolyte replenishment.

after long runs I love my ice baths! They do a great job of preventing soreness. Although, when I first started them, you could almost hear me from 3 states away!

Nope if your not sore your not working hard enough

Work harder it's better and you will gain more from it

Stretch. Ideally before and after, but the after part is more important. Do a cool down.
Bonnet Flaunter
Stretching, cooling down, and hot/cold water are all great advice as long with everything else listed here. I find that (a relatively gentle) swim the day after intensive exercise helps to counter those aches and pains that kick in the day after next!
You can try Milk Thistle. It's readily available in the vitamin sections of groceries and pharmacies.
Some of it is genetic. I'm the kind of person that gets very sore whenever I change my workout. Check out Pavel Tsatsouline's work. He has some good information on increasing performance without increasing soreness.

Truthfully I have been working out for about 1.5 hours with weights then running (basketball) and then about a 30 minute sauna sit at around 180 to 200 with lots of water really helps your muscles Its a great place to stretch because warm muscles are more willing to stretch
