Eating the right foods and the right amount.

Try upping your protien intake. This will help a lot. Same with water. Stretching out sore areas will also help.

Your body will get use to the exercise. The pain will go away just got to push thru it x

Try some protien shakes protien is waft helps repair and rebuild your muscles after a session. If that dosnt work for you. Just need to try the man up concept haha

A good masseuse would be the answer.

There will surely be a few willing amateurs on here who might offer to help you out!

As has been said, your body will get used to it in time. When I started a more physical job last year, it took about 8 weeks until my body got used to it again. But it's worth it

Good luck and keep up the good work

Yeah. It's called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and is common to everyone who tries out a new exercise. Your body will get used to it in time. you'll soon start to like the feeling - from an acomplishment stand point knowing you've gave yourself a decent workout . You can reduce the effects of DOMS by redoing the same exercise again with lighter weight/body weight at home. Once you get blood pumping through those sore muscles - it'll alleviate the soreness temporarily. But the stiffness typically only lasts about 3-4 days anyway.

Not a gym goer but I know about sore muscles lol Make sure you stretch well before and after your workout. And avoid a hot shower after, make it as cool as you can handle. Then, Arnica cream is great to help after a session. You can get it at Boots .

Good luck x

Seek a PROFESSIONAL masseur, oh wait, im a professional swedish masseur, experst at soothing ghose aching muscles, lwctic asid is a killer , causing cramps and serious pain if not broken up and dirspersed from tissue, if massage is not ur thing, drink LOADS of water to flush toxins out x x x

Water drink plenty of it

Listen to the PT he is after all the "trained" expert too many keyboard trainers

There is a reason why you rest a muscle group after exercise

But yes it will stiffen up for a day or two after.

In a month or so you will see and feel a big difference and start to enjoy rather than see it as a chore

Best of luck
