Post-Workout Soreness

Hey, I have just started doing P90X and I am experiencing some soreness in my arms. My first workout was on Monday but my arms are still somewhat sore today. I was wondering, should I be able to workout my arms (today, I am supposed to do Shoulders & Arms) or should I do another workout that does not focus on so much on my arms (i.e. Kenpo X). Also, are there any ways to relieve my arm soreness?

    I do P90X also, it goes away. Your body is probably in shock like mine was for the first month. But you should be a bit sore afterwards, otherwise I understand it because you are not working out hard enough. I know they make recovery drinks that help also. I like the Modern Labs BCAA. Also make sure it is sorness, not something more serious.
