    According to my trainer if you are really sore do not workout, if it is a light soreness you can. Typically if I am sore and workout I just do cardio.

    Yes, absolutely. You may even find the exercise helps to ease it off a bit.

    Thanks everyone, I shall do some light cardio - walking and swimming. I was hoping one of you would say it would help!

    When I'm sore, I workout the muscles that I'm sore in to loosen them up a bit. It always helps them to feel better and the next time I work them hard, they don't feel it as badly.

    Well I went... I managed to walk for 25mins, run for six and swim for 10. I am still very achy though but I'm so glad I went! Day off tomorrow though.
