First thing to do is ( I know this is going to hurt a little) to move the sore areas. Try to massage them out or stretch them out as best you can. Secondly take some asprin, advil something that cuts inflamation down, Take a hot shower or soak ina bath for a while and rest. That is about all you can do...Good luck and do not give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------- If you can still itch your nose after arm day, go do another set wussie!!!!

Two weeks ago my trainer changed up my routine from full body exercise to upper body one day and lower body the second day! Boy was I SORE!!! But it went away in a couple of days and last week I was not that sore at all, except maybe my triceps!!!! -------------- Gramma

Or really treat yourself and get a proper massage every once in a while. As a treat for all your good work.

Do a strech etc, and you will be fine in a few days. I am just getting back to working out myself and im a bit sore today, but I like it. I take it as yesterday was a productive first day back. I made sure not to overdue it on my first day back from months and months off. A lot of new people will go over board their first day and can really badly be feeling it the next day. Good luck and keep it up. It gets easier the longer you stick it out. John
