    strength training when done right burns tons of calories, and yes so does jumping on a trampoline. No idea on the soreness though,

    You are going to be sore because you have not been exercising. Start slow and after a few days the soreness goes away. You will adjust. Embrace the soreness as it is a result of your hard work. Remember, this is a lifestyle change, not a short term fix.

    Lots of us crave the sore. Sore is good. It means you've worked hard and have done something great for your body. If you work hard, you'll learn to love it.

    Take a couple of aspirin. It helps the soreness.

    I've started to mix cardio in with my weight training - I find that it limbers and warms me up a lot more than simply stretching (which I never liked to do anyway). I start with cardio, then a few weight exercises, then throw in some more cardio. It keeps things interesting and gives your muscles a break - and burns tons of calories.

    If' you're out of shape the soreness can't be avoided you just have to keep working at it. If you feel your muscles getting tight right after a workout ice them. Crushed ice in a ziplock bag wrapped in a towel about 20-30 min, and unless you have other reasons not to you can take a pain reliever (I go with advil). If you're sore the next day you can try muscle creams or rubs but those don't last long. On the second day heat is okay so a nice hot bath with some Epsom salts always makes me feel better. Also I know you said stretching doesn't help but it does stretch before bed and in the morning nice and easy stretches it's not immediate but over time it helps.

    I use "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" in cardio. Pre-work out I have a good meal with 20-30g protein. After working out I have a 20g protein snack. Also I Take Magnesium, Zinc, Calcium Pill & something with Potassium in it to help recover.

    Up to 800 Mg of ibuprophen a day. It is an antiinflamatory AND pain relievers. Lots of water and cold therapy to the areas you worked on. I used to prepare and run marathon's and found that if I took 200mg (1 tablet) 1 hour prior to my runs and 400mg (2 tabs) a couple hours after with cold therapy I avoided much of that pain! On long run days I would also take 400mg of the Ibu prior to going to bed and slept well. However, if you have any digestion problem or you are on blood thinners, don't take anything without consulting a MD. Good luck! I am starting my diet and exersice in the am and I am in the worst shape in my life, so I too don't looknforward to that pain!
