On Tuesday I did full body strength exercises really earnestly for the first time. I was still sore after the 48 hr rest period so I only ended up doing only one set last night. I'm guessing this is because I'm new and brushing off some cobwebs.

Do you work out sore muscles if two days have passed?

    As long as I'm sure it's just soreness and not anything unusual, I'll work through it. I've also found that doing yoga or tai chi on recovery days helps with the soreness.

    Yoga really relieves my soreness, and as an added bonus I have increased flexibility too.

    Soreness is normal, pain is bad. Just make sure you're using proper form so you don't get hurt.

    I still get really sore after my work outs and it stays for a couple of days. I usually will work out even if I'm sore, but I've noticed that the work-out-while-sore work out kinda sucks. I warm up fine and don't feel it while lifting, but I just can't seem to perform as well.
