    It's probably DOMS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness

    What kind of workout did you do? It sounds like you are doing too much. You are over training. Your body is telling you it needs rest.

    You did tons yesterday! Sometimes it takes awhile for the adrenaline to wear off. For my sister, when she does a workout she doesn't feel it for a minimum of 24 hours. I feel it after 20 minutes. It all depends on who you are.

    You may wanna stretch those sooooore muscles, though. I've found it helps to limit the soreness next time, and relieves it for a bit this time.

    Way to go!

    I agree, sounds like DOMS from over use yesterday. Gently stretch and/or massage the tender areas and maybe even take a gentle walk to keep the blood flow to the effected areas. Maybe take some Advil to help ease the inflammation too...

    Are you by chance doing South Beach, Atkins, or anything low carb? My wife and I use to do South Beach and I would notice a burning sensation sometimes with very light activity.... especially in induction phase...

    good luck
