  Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is the pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after exercising and subsides generally within 2 to 3 days.

  1) Increase frequency of exercise
  2) Alternate light and heavy workouts. Light workouts are to me sports like swimming... light on the muscles
  3) There are some types of supplements which help, but I cannot remember which one at the moment

  Like eagle says, increasing the frequency of the muscle stress will help with most cases of DOMs.
