First tell yourself that the aches will get better the more you exercise as long as you are doing it properly.\nHeating pads and cool packs do good.\nhomemade cool pack:\n1 part water\n3 parts rubbing alcohol (higher % if you can find it)\nPut in ziplock baggie and freeze....it will not be solid, more like gel\nplus it is reusable and cheaper.\n\nEpsom Salt Baths do great to.\nOr talk to your Dr if you have the money and get a tens unit....you would be amazed how that helps.\n\nJust stretch it out before and after exersizing  to keep from getting stiff. Much luck to you!

Elevate your legs once you at home, take an ice bag place on the sore parts of your legs leave there for 15 minutes but not any longer. Try not to do any pushing of furniture or any hard work around your house. Then right before bed time take a soothing bath  if at all possible. In the morning try to stay away from anything with caffeine and you should do this on a regular basis and also try to exercise just a little each day..\n\nGood Luck..

If you are not used to exercising, you have to be careful not to hurt muscles, tendons or ligaments.  Start out with stretches, isometric, range of motion.  One really good start is to hold your hands out straight as if you were going to fly, like the wings of an airplane.  Lean back as far as you can without pain.  That helps stretch.  If you have an office chair, lean backwards on it, put your hands behind your head as you do.  Yoga is excellent like the other responder said but please warm up before you do anything.  I don't know if you are male or female but for women they have posture bras that help pull your shoulders back, for men they have just strap type supports.  Try to start sitting straighter like in the car, press your back against the seat and try to sit up straight for when you drive.  If you practice sitting up straighter a few minutes each day and increase it, pretty soon you will be sitting up most all the time.  Same with standing.  Try standing against a wall, shoulders touching the wall.  Another good stretch is to sit on the floor and lean forward to touch your toes with your body pressed as close to your legs as possible.  You need to tone up the rhomboids I'm betting along with trapezius, and levator scaps.  You need to start out with the stretches though to stretch the erectors (muscles close to the spine) to relax them.

First of all, don't exercise through pain. It is better to give yourself a rest for a while. But if the pain becomes stronger, contact your doctor immediately! It can be too serious if you don't!

I would use a heating pad and massage. You can avoid this by warming up before stretching or exercising. Drink a lot of water.

well to dull the pain use heat and to numb the pain use cold, massaging the muscle might help also.

Given your age and your prior medical condition, I would definitely advice a proper physical with your physician prior to ANY form of physical exercise.\n\nThe pains you feel in your joints are likely due to overuse injuries and the ligament's being unaccustomed to work load.\n\nTry easing into the fitness program, and do lighter reps of each exercise components. Do them until tired. Do not force another rep if you are straining.\n\nAnother exercise good to do is the Deep Knee Bends. Do those different times of the day, and as usual, do until tired and not straining. This exercise will help to strengthen your ligaments and help your body get accustom to the physical activities.\n\nRemember to see your doctor and approach a competent personal trainer with experience in elderly fitness management for a customized fitness program suitable for your current level of fitness.

Lay down on your stomach. \nHold onto something (couch, sofa legs..)\nLift your straight legs as high as you can. \nRepeat until you feel as if someone beat you all over the backside. \n\nDo similar excercise laying on your sides. As many as you can. \n:&#92;\n\nThen continue torturing yourself in this manner daily for a month. \nResults guaranteed. \n\n(it's actually not as horrible as I make it sound)\n:)\n\n~K

Exercise!  Our lifestyles now are so sedintary, but our bodies are built for movement and activity.  Get out, get your heart rate up and break a sweat.  The high you get from exercise leads to a great state of bliss later on and also rids the body of toxins so that you feel better.  Have fun!

Get active!  Find something that requires you to move your bodies.  Try walking together.

Run/jog. When you get tired, walk for the same amount of time your ran, then run again. When you can do a couple of miles that way, work on extending your runs while cutting down the walking.\n\nBe sure to stretch out after you run to keep from getting sore.\nSee if your local library has Bob Anderson's Stretching book.

Do cardio exercise. Walking is fine.

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!)

Ideally, you should eat a well-balanced diet. Eat as many natural foods as possible and excercise a little every day. You will feel better. : )
