    Second day DOMS. The soreness can be more intense than it was the first day after your workout. It's normal.

    But how come I don't get even nearly as sore if I work out the next day? Like I barely even notice my soreness if I worked out the day before. I wasn't sore during the five days straight, but after that one rest day, it sucked.
    Exercise relieves soreness. On days you don't work out, and are really sore, even some mild stretching might help.

    I agree with both of these and it's usually the case with me. I feel far less sore if I work out or at least stretch the day after. If I don't, the 2nd day after working out is usually the worst for me for soreness.

    Thanks guys! I didn't realize that doing a different exercise would have so much effect on my muscles. That's good to know. Hopefully, my soreness will be alleviated when I go to zumba tonight :)

    Also, I don't take any supplements. I have no clue as to anything about them. I should definitely start stretching before and after more, and on my rest days. I have to admit that's a part I look over because I'm so tired after my workout or I just want to get started, lol. Another downfall of working out at night.

    Yes someone also mentioned dynamic stretching. Youtube that up. Basically instead of traditional stretches you perform the motion that you would do in your particular sport to get the correct muscles warmed up. I do it for soccer warmup's...works well and do traditional stretching for cooldown.

    When I use to work out every other day, day 2 I was always very stiff and sore, I learned working out was the only thing that would make me feel better so now I do it everyday
