It sounds like you overdid your workout badly last weekend.
After good several years, I started again going to the gym late last year. At my age one needs to be careful to avoid causing more harm than good. So far no major aches or pains, and happily a noticeable improvement in the way my body (or what’s left of it) works.
Probably, I think it's just because I'm starting back. I feel considerably less sore today despite doing more than I did last week! It feels like a chore going but I'm hoping that once I'm going enough then it'll start to become addicting.
