    @daneejela, I'm not a fitness professional, but I know it's important to warm-up (dynamic vs. static stretching) & cool down (LOTS more stretching). Hope this helps a little o:)

    I didn't quite make it all the way through day 2. Wow- I think I need to go a little slower on trying that many reps right out of the gate- too out of shape! But I'm going to keep increasing every day.

    Warming up before any intense exercise (strength training, HIIT, aerobics etc) as well as cooling down and stretching afterwards. If particular muscles are very sore using a foam roller or tennis ball to work out the kinks can be helpful (but be careful to not go too hard, it can make it more sore and even bruise) as well as a warm bath can be great. If it's bad enough it's effecting daily activities, it might be best to take a break from heavy exercise all together a little early for a day or two until it feel a bit better.
