Help

I started back at the gym yesterday, I hadn't been for over a month due to being lazy, I used to go 3 to 4 times a week.

I went on the running machine and also did squats and lunges.

I can't move, honestly I can't even get in my car my legs/bum hurt so badly :frown:. I'm not exaggerating, it's even a struggle to sit on the toilet or walk up the stairs.

Is there anything I can do?! Should I also rest until this goes away?

Thanks.
how long do you rest for between changing exercises?

I don't really rest between exercises.

got to the gym and do squats again, seriously it will help.

It seems like the worse thing you can do but it isn't.
take like a 1-2 min rest in between exercises
Start slowly and build up. If you haven't been to the gym for a while your first session back shouldn't be as intense as your previous one
Do light stretches, make sure you're drinking enough water, eat well, rest A LOT. You'll be fine. I once had this happen to me and I had to walk like a man who got kicked in the balls. It was the most pain I ever felt in my life, but after a few days it went.

Only way to get rid of it, is to do it again!
DOMS. Eat lots of protein, walk anyway and stop being a girl about it.
