if you are really that sore, then don't go. my suggestion is to work out a specific part of your body, for each day. like biceps one day, calves the other day. that way you aren't constantly straining the same part of your body over the course of a week or so. also, if one part of your body is sore, then you can do a routine that doesn't involve that part.

protein - will heal the muscles, and you will recover faster - lots of water, avoid sugar - really avoid sugar- avoid soft drinks, avoid candy - eat fresh fruit for energy - bananas have the potassium you need for sore muscles too - \n\nYou can find a book on "food as medicine" which will add a whole lot to what I posted. \n\nStretching sore muscles also helps them - and if all esle fails, when you go back to practise - you will feel a lot better once the muscles are worked up again.. no matter how sore you are keep working out - as this does take the soreness away too.

depends on your level of fitness and if you training for a specific event; generally if you body aches all the time you are doing to much.  I train with weight, row, and do martial arts and Yoga, was ill for little over a week (still all little cough) but the accidentally imposed rest time really made a difference to my body appearance (for the better).  So rest is as important as the exercise.  Every day if you working different muscle groups, three to 'max' of four if you doing a general overall workout.  Don't work to hard as you will likely just put your self of and end up doing nothing.  Hope this helps

Wasn't running but was hiking and felt a weird twinge in my leg, I thought that I should stop and rest and massage or stretch but the I thought "No, this isn't a good spot and I've only got 2 more miles to go." Hurt to walk or stand for next 3 days.\n\nFeel free to laugh.

If you recently injured it is likely in an inflamed stated i.e. red, hot, swollen, and painful.  So the best way to handle that for the next few days is RICE (rest ice compression elevation) \nrest- take it easy respect pain and don’t do any thing that hurts it you can make it worse, but you should still be active because too little activity can cause your muscles to atrophy and cause more problems besides your knee will like the blood flow just be smart and slow\nIce - get an ice pack and use it for about 5-15/hour minutes whenever the pain goes away and you have a little bit of a numbing effect ice is a natural anti-inflammatory.\nCompression maybe an ace bandage around the knee NOT VERY TIGHT! You can wrap it while you ice to help limit swelling\nElevation when you ice or are just kicking back elevate your knee but that only works when you get the knee higher than your heart, elevating will help with swelling as well

Ouch. Poor baby, that must have hurt. I would say you should try to sleep as best you can and see how you are in the morning. If it still hurts you might should go get it looked at, either by a chiropractor or an MD.

Depends on why they are sore.\n\nYou can work through the IDOMS (Induced Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or Syndrome... one of the two) that you get about a day after you've exercise a new muscle group. Take it easy though so you don't tear anything. Jogging is a good way to get rid of these (get some blood going through em!)

That soreness is referred to as DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness.This is tearing of the muscle tissues,resulting in soreness.It is most certainly not lactic acid,that's soon cleared from the muscle tissue once circulation returns.As a general rule of thumb you should never exercise a muscle group that's still sore.This results in compounding this microtrauma thus taking even longer to recover.The only two things that will heal this trauma are rest and proper protein intake.\nIt would be advisable to rest until the soreness is gone.Stretching can further compound this microtrauma so that's best done after the work out than when you are sore.If you're only walking,you can continue doing that same exercise without risk of undoing what you've done,but absolutely no weight training or other anaerobic work.\nHot baths and ibuprofen(not Tylenol) will help with the inflammation.If it's ever really bad then ice for twenty minutes then heat for 20 and one hour off,repeat.\nHere's some proof here,the article clearly states it's not lactic acid,but microtrauma.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness\nEdit:Nice ad below,but it doesn't say anything about lactic acid,because lactic doesn't cause DOMS.

you might consider getting one of the sports guards and cutting it to the size of your mouth and heating it to mold to your teeth as the directions tell you ..try sleeping in this and see if it helps the soreness until you can see your dentist.

Have you been very active in the area ? You may just be sore from to much activity !

It should ease over the next 24 hours, try putting on a heat pack for 15 mins also, with some gentle stretches. Good luck, if still sore in 48 hrs prob need a bit of physio

I would try to work out a little more. It uses up lots of energy and it keeps your body healthier

Rest a day. Every time you work out, your muscles tear a little bit and when they heal they are a little stronger every time, but you need to give them time to heal. You should always rest a day or two before working the same muscles. Try a different muscle group for tonight, and go back to that tomorrow night.

I think you should go to another doctor in the morning just to ease your mind. It could be a pulled muscle but it could also be to do with your heart. Don't be scared but it is better to be sure than sorry. Never mind the doctor who passed it off, he has nothing to lose....there is only one Gilly so get a second opinion. You seem to take care of yourself so I am sure it is just a strain, or something to do with your workout, but no putting it off Gilly have it sorted tomorrow and then you can forget about it and enjoy the weekend. You will be alright. God bless x.

You might be overtraining.  Make sure you are taking at least one full day of rest each week.  Also make sure that you are eating enough for all the working out that you are doing.

If you are not doing excessively difficult exercises then the best strategy is to work a muscle group hard and then skip a day, so I think it is OK to work out again. If you have an organized exercise program you want to work a muscle group hard and then use different muscle groups the next day to rest your sore muscles. \n\nMore details below.

If you have these respiratory symptoms (coughing, wheezing, any tightness or pain in chest) I would skip the workout (until you feel better).  If it is mostly nasal symptoms, and mild cold symptoms (stuffy or runny nose, mild sore throat) you could do the workout, maybe just go a little slower, or spend less time doing the workout.\n\n       If you have a fever, you should not work out.  If you feel really tired, I would say skip it (there's always tomorrow or next time).
