If you havent been back for awhile....no wonder! Did you remember to stretch thoroughly first? Warmup? Rest between sets and cool down/stretch after? Another reason for all the soreness. Start off abit easier with a planned routine for an hour the next day. Be sure to rest for a minute between sets.

For beginners, a three day split with a rest day between is a good idea. Since you havent been back in a long time....you might want to do this until your body gets used to working out with the machines/freeweights there.

Easy to overdo it at any age....
