    Split your workouts, then being sore won't matter. If you do your arms day one, legs day two, abs day three, back day four etc the soreness will be gone by the time your cycle goes around. Also have lots of protein- thats what helps to repair and build up your muscles after a workout.

    if you're doing high intensity workouts and you're getting sore i'd actually rest, or do as (ooh hope i get the name right) LorainaLynn says and split your workout to a different section of the body.

    i cycle through 2 light activity days (slow walk), 2 medium intensity days (strength + cardio or just strength), and 2 high intensity days. at most i'd do 2 very light, 2 medium, 3 intense. otherwise, i work to a medium level most days and split top and bottom half workouts.

    got to give the muscles some time to recover... i used to push through hard every day for a job and was just really sore every day. eventually got a massage and had a rest day and discovered why muscles need rest.

    Soreness is an indication you've stressed a muscle(s) you don't normally use or haven't used in awhile. I embrace it. Kinda like a battle scar.

    Best cure for soreness: more exercise! If you work out regularly, it gets better. This is motivation not to slack!

    AS long as it isn't an injury and it is just muscle soreness than I push right through the soreness and usually feel a lot better after I do..... Good Luck to you......
