If this is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), there probably isn't much that warming up and cooling down will do to stop it. See the link below. Many people think a bit of DOMS is a badge of honour, taking it as a sign have given themselves a good workout :) You may find it better to slow down and do less to start with, because the DOMS can last a few days and might stop you from being able to repeat the exercise properly, if it hurts too much.

If, however, the pain is very bad and/or happens suddenly during exercise, you may have a more serious injury that requires investigation.

Just keep moving Chelle. Move more, eat less. That's it 😀
