I went to a XTraining class on Tuesday - great class! But after a few months of not going, my calves ARE SCREAMIN!!!!!  All walking hurts, the sting never 'works' itself out.  OMG!!! I'm getting old.

It's just muscle soreness and will pass in another day or two.  I need some educated advice about going to class today.  I went to a similar class yesterday (different instructor).  Wednesday's class was more muscle endurance, less cardio intervals - so easier on the calves but the static lunges were unbearable! 

Should I go to class today?  This one will emphasis cardio conditioning - lots of jumping, etc.

Thanks-

Honestly, I struggled with this exact same issue this morning.  Lunges turned my legs to jello.  If jello could be painful, that is.

I went.  And I'm really glad I did.  I stuck with only cardio, as it was a rest day for ALL strength stuff for me....the cross trainer felt great, actually.  The treadmill not so much, but I pushed through it.  An hour later I was stoked that I didn't blow it off.

I'd say go.  If the class is too much to endure, excuse yourself and go find another tool to get your workout in.  Just leave the lower body weights alone!!!

I would go. My experience has been that it eases the pain if I work the sore muscle with the same exercise. I'm not a professional so it may not work for everyone.
