When I first started weight training again, I was probably sore for about 4 weeks. Eventually, the soreness wasn't as noticeable as it was in the beginning. Have patience...

Remember that each time you do a different exercise, you are targeting different muscle groups. I am on week four and I still get a little sore, but it has eased a lot. I do get sore when I do a new exercise. Just hand in there. Also you might trying soaking in a warm bath with epsom salt. It really helps.

You get some carbs and proteins for your muscles just after the work out? You don't over train? Enough sleep? Then it could be a prob with not enough magnesium or sodium. Glutamine helps you to recover. A multi vitamine pill can also make wonders (and extra vitamine C). Check out your diet and work out schedule. Good luck! -------------- - Nina :o)
