Is it safe to exercise if I'm still sore from the previous days workout? I'm new to this so I'm not used to it.

    Yes. As long as a muscle isn't tweaked, just sore. Don't work the same exact muscle group, but be active. You will most likely feel better.

    Google DOMS. Chances are that's what you're experiencing.

    I find that it helps to go for a brisk walk or do a light workout when I've got DOMS.

    Eating a banana or watermelon actually helps with sore muscles. I eat a banana after my workout everyday

    Ya, it's probably ok and I based this on your use of the word "sore" and not "pain". A little soreness is normal and it's caused by damage to the muscles so that being the case, you can treat it like any injury with rest, heat and maybe some tylenol if you are so inclined. The soreness will go away in a day or two and if you treat with rest, heat and tylenol then the pain will go away ...in a day or two
