If you worked out with weights I wouldn't. You have to give them time to repair and grow. If you workout again while they are still sore you'll risk injury. You might be able to get away with that if all you were doing was calisthenics. Give yourself a day or two.

If your musles ache the next day your doing it right, but do it everyother day.- because muscle need to rest 24 hours after a good work out. Don't for get to eat protein and muscles eat up fat so you need a little body fat to make muscle.

try heat 1st...it helps relax the muscles in case you may have a pinched nerve (which is kinda what it sounds like) or maybe some bengay, but if it goes longer than about 3 or 4 days...go to the dr...you may have done something worse...perhaps a herniation or a slipped disk.

Stretching BOTH before and after the workout.  Warm up before for about 10 minutes doing cardio after the stretches.  Make sure you're hydrated. Eat a banana afterwards.  Enjoy a hot tub or bath.  OR maybe just don't work quite so hard!!  :o)  The phrase "No pain, no gain" is overrated!  If you gradually build up your muscles instead of tearing them, you'll feel better the next day and probably more like continuing the training sessions.  If you hurt all the time, you may give up too soon.  :o)

When you exercise muscles hard you tear down tissue.  Your body needs more than 24 hours for that to heal back.  If you skip a day between workouts you will see faster results.

Muscle fibers become torn after an intense exercise. They then need time to repair the damage, and prepare for another round of intense exercise by making a little bit more muscle. As a bodybuilder, I will not exercise my muscles till they are not sore, and I know that my muscle fibers are repaired and prepared for another round of even heavier weights! So, I would hold off a few days till they feel not sore (sore means that the cells that you broke in your muscle fibers have not been cleaned up by the body and are causing inflammation at the sight. This is so the blood can keep coming in and cleaning up the broken cells as your body repairs them).

Muscles need a 24 hour rest period, so every other day is ideal. When you work your muscles you actually cause tiny tears in the muscle fibers and these need time to repair and strengthen. Work upper body one day and lower body the next day.

Drink lots of water and never work out the same muscles 2 days in a row. The reason for the soreness is because when you work out your muscle fibers tear and the anabolic metabolism produces lactic acid. The acid that builds in your muscles is what causes the soreness. Working out the same muscles 2 days in a row gives your muscle no time to heal and only produces more lactic acid and, thus, more soreness. Also, drinking water will help to flush out the lactic acid and lessen some of the soreness.

I used to go to the gym twice a day a while back. Was in the best shape of my life.\n\nIt's fine as long as you get plenty of rest and eat for enegy between workouts. Also don't do the same thing on both sessions.\n\nThe evening session has to be light (preferably cycling...something low impact).\n\nAlso remember resting your muscles is part of the process. When your muscles feel tight or sore, just relax and take the day off. You will come back stronger.

Drink PLENTY of water.  Warm up before and stretch after.  It takes a while to get over a pulled muscle.  I pulled a quad one fall, would think it's OK and then re-aggravate it every time I'd start to run.

You will be in pain.\n\nBut I used to play 15's in the morning and then lacrosse in the afternoon.\n\nWarm up and down properly before/after each (can't stress that enough).\n\nDrink plenty of water/gatorade (can't stress that enough either).\n\nYour muscles will hate you the next day, but you sahould be alright, be careful not to push yourself too much though.\n\ngood luck.

You need to talk to a personal trainer about your routine. There are terms we use called microcycles, macrocycles and periodization which are short-term and long-term variations in programs that work together to keep your fitness moving forward.  Each week's change in exercise focus gives the body a new stress to adapt to while providing a chance for the body to recover from the previous stress.\n\nHere's a sample:\nhttp://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/Periodization.html\n\nJust as a side note, just because you don't feel delayed muscle soreness that doesn't mean you're not having an effective workout.  That's a misconception.\n\nIt's too lengthy to explain further for the purposes of this forum, but the concepts are readily available in several text books that focus on strength conditioning.

you should stretch before AND after any intense work out to sooth the muscles...if you over do again it try an ice bath

Your legs are sore due to lactic acid build up.  Lactic acid is the byproduct given off when muscles work.  It happens all the time in the body, but the amount increases more (of course) when we exercise.  Oxygen removes lactic acid.  That's why our breathing increases when we exercise, or exert ourselves.  It tends to happen more often, and last longer in people who aren't used to exercising.  Building muscle and losing weight aren't the only benefits of exercise.  Your lungs, heart, and vasculature (veins and arteries) also become more efficient.  That's why you experience less fatigue and soreness as you keep exercising and your workout becomes easier.\n\n  Yes, you should take a day or two off from your exercise.  Give your system a chance to excrete that built up lactic acid.  One of the best, and most enjoyable ways to ease the soreness, is to take a long hot soak in a bath mixed with epsom salts.  It's really cheap and sold in any drug store or Wal-Mart.  You'll feel incredibly better the very next day.  Then get back to working out.  It'll get easier and a lot less painful.

Should be one day of rest in between to give your muscles a day to heal and tone up.  Congradulation on doing them...its more than most do!

No, every other day is good, your muscles need at least 24 hours between workouts to rebuild.  What I like to do is upper body one day and lower body on the off days, this way you can workout everyday if you want, then give everything a break and just do cardio once a week.

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.
