I exercised seriously yesterday for the first time in months; I did 50 minutes of a toning/aerobics DVD. (Insert pat myself on the back emotiocon here!)
Today, every part of my body is severely charley horse! Do I exercise again today anyway, or should I wait until tomorrow? I think I once read that muscles need 48 hours to recover, or is that my laziness talking?

wow, that's a lot. I like to start small when getting back into exercise and increase it slowly - starting with something like 15 minutes. if you're in that much pain I'd wait till tomorrow and then do it for at least half the time, maybe even less.

Definitely stretch today, and maybe do a shorter, milder workout. There might be something on hulu if you don't have a video for something like that - there are some 12 minute pilates and yoga routines. And soak in a hot bath!

I would work out again, not toning, as toning should be done every other day. better keep those muscles moving then let them rest.

Thanks, everyone!
Yes, I should've started slower, but I was already in workout clothing and found the DVD, so I decided to keep going... so today I'm in pain, but it's a good kind of pain:)

You're supposed to skip a day after toning. You can probably do some walking or similar, but not the same DVD you did yesterday. My trainer says to give the muscles a rest for one day, but I can continue with the same toning after that day even if the muscles are still sore.

if you did toning, then today do cardio. walking is the best when you are charlie horse. the extra circulation during cardio will help your charlie horse heal faster.
