OK, I did my 1st ever kettlebell class today. I used to think that even though I still want to lose 90 pounds, that I was fairly fit. But this workout just destroyed me... Like I can't sit and get up without lots of soreness, and this is only 5 hours after the workout. I can't imagine what tomorrow will be like. I have a huge tub that I will be taking a long hot bath in shortly ( no jets )... but is there anything I can do NOW to make tomorrow less painful?

Ibuprofin?
Hang in there, we all have to start somewhere.0 -
After my first Kettlebell experience, I was sore for 4 days :-).
Muscles I didn't even know I had hurt like hell.
The 2nd and 3rd times will be better. I promise :-)0 -
Any type of anti-inflammatory and lots of water!!!!!0

Soak as long as you can in the hottest water possible, and I second the aleve or motrin. Both together really seem to minimize the next day aching, compared to how bad I'm feeling the evening of.0

Don't cold, icy baths help with muscle soreness? Idk, I think I saw that on Biggest Loser.0

Take a few ibuprofen, use a heating pad. Tomorrow is a new day. Keep up the good work.0

A long bath sounds fantastic, plus some pain reliever.
And of course a good night's sleep!0 -
Really with the pain you will feel there is not much help just keep moving I get this every time I do squats Naproxin works best for me as it is a anti-inflammatory good luck0

DRINK WATER LIKE ITS GOING OUT OF STYLE!!!! and stretch your muscles. The stretching will hurt now but it will make you feel better in the end.0

Stretch! I know from experience that if you dont stretch before and after an intense workout, you WILL hurt yourself the next day.0
-
And even tho you hurt like crazy tomorrow, still do mild exercise, like walking, even if you can't do much else. It helps the soreness go away faster.0

You sound like me after my first workout with weights after waaaaay too many years! I was shaky afterwards & soreness set in by evening - the next day was brutal. So was the one after that. Ibuprophen did help me, as well as just taking it easy. Short, easy walks help stretch things out, but sadly, the soreness returned as soon as I stopped moving. I moaned and groaned when getting in or out of our truck, getting up or sitting down on the sofa, stairs were horrible. The warm bath should help.
Don't be afraid to take a few days off and let your muscles heal though - they got a rude awakening today!0 -

Can hinder proper muscle repair and growth!
My advice: warm bath, stretch, plenty of protein, and stick with it! The first time is always the hardest.0 -
LOL, well thank you... I was just about to bump this thread.... I did take a long HOT bath.... I will get some naproxin,,, and I have a heating pad.... Seriously though, I have NEVER felt this sore, not even after 100 mile bike ride I took ( back in the day when I ride 20 miles a day, a few times a week ).0

ice bath, stretch, foam roll, and relax! drink lots of water and have lots of protein and don't be surprised if you can't move tomorrow.0

How can ibuprofin hinder proper muscle growth and repair? It's an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever.0
