Rotate what you do. You can walk one day,lift weights the next, swim the third day, and so on so you get a four or five day rotation exercise routine.
does going for a walk count?
Stop whining and hit the dumbbells.
Perhaps a soak in a hot tub would help, but mostly you just have to work out again to get the blood flowing. That way the Lactic acid moves out of the muscles and can be gotten rid of. Sorry, no magic answer here.
get a massage
Yoga video's.
if u are sore then you already got a good workout girl....you have 2 keep going though...but you can be a little more easier on urself next time u work out...but soon if u keep up the good work you won't be sore anymore you'll start to form some muscles!!
If you muscle or jt is sore, your body is telling you to rest it. You can always work another muscle. I.e. do chest monday and thursday only.
Always stretch out. Cardio can be done more frequently. If jogging is hurting your knees, do another machine that is low impact i.e. bike, elliptical
ive found that after my next workout the soreness went away but dont do an overly strenous work out incase you have a pulled muscle
The more you work out the less sore you'll be. Stretching is always good. do even more of it.
remember sore-ness can be a sign that you are working your muscles so keep up the exercising.
Once your done with your work out try and go home and take a hot bath with epson salt in it. Epson salt relax's the mussels so they don't get overstressed
Your best bet is to do your weights in a rotation, like one day arms and back, the next day legs, the next day abs and pecs, then cycle back to arms etc.
This will give your body a chance to recover a bit between workouts, b/c you are working out a different area each day.
Well, the reason you are sore is because you are overdoing it!! You are hurting your body, tearing muscles and tendons.... You have to let them heal before breaking them again... Can you just jog for a few days and have that count toward your 11 hours?
Slow your pace.
The aches and pains are your bodies way of telling you that you have over done it a bit.
People may tell you to work through the pain but this advice is wrong.
You should slow down a bit and see if the pains ease.
It sound like you might have too much to do in to short of an amount of time. To properly train and keep youself in shape you need breaks. The best way is to work and area of your body (like the upper half) and give it a day or two off, and then move to the next half for the next day for example. In this way you can do cardio every day, and split up the stength piece. I do cardio every day but one and two days on and one off and weight training. My weight training days are about 1.5 hours a day, and my cardio only are about 45 to 50 minutes.
If you are sore then that is a sign that the workout is working. I would recommend after workouts do a cool down routine, opposite of a warm up before you start. This will help to get rid of the lactic acid that will have built up during your workout. For a cool down routine, you have to look at what muscle groups you are working, you need to gently shake those muscle groups out a bit with no tension, also try to do surrounding muscle groups in relaxation mode, this may help with the pain and will help develop your muscles.
This is what you need to do.
1]Take a hot oatmeal bath... to soothe your muscles.
2]Sleep
3]Right before you work out: ACTUALLY STRETCH like good stretches that you can actually feel the burning because that is what will warm up your muscles.
4] Try running around the block, the fresh air feels good and runnining is great excercise.
5] Do yoga. It can be painful but works great!
6] For the sore muscles try putting heat/cool packs on them.
7] Also go to a Chiro... they can work out the knots in your muscles and it feels really really good... or go to a muscle therapist.
8] Try doing biking... or swimming (even though its winter... they make indoor pools! lol)
9] Relax! Let your muscles have a break and then go back to the work out more.
10] Go to wherever you work out.. and work until you cant handle the pain... go home and do steps 1,7,5,2,6
11] if it hurts TOO much tell your parents
GOOD LUCK!

Warm shower, stretch and go on a walk, then grit your teeth and bare it....
