I started the break-in program yesterday. Today I am SOOOO SORE!!! My legs are killing me. I did not workout again today... but I am definitely going to hit the gym tomorrow... I don't know how I'm going to do more lunges, but I will try!
You might also consider filling dixie cups with water, freezing them and using them to ice your sore areas down. Just peel down the edge, but leave enough to handle.
It would also help on off days or days you are too sore to workout, to just ride the bike or walk, then spend a lot of time stretching all the sore areas.

If you are sore then Break In is working, you should be using muscles you have not used in a while
What I do is take a tennis ball and position the musle where it is fully elongated then rub the tennis ball against it, hurts like hell at first but I tested it on my legs and the one I test it on always feels 300% better the next day

Soreness is not a good indicator, at least not in the general sense. There are some lucky bastages that never get sore. They must die so as not to belittle our efforts.
Hm used to be never sore back when I did more than 30 sets in a workout and lots of cardio.
As soon as I dropped the volume of sets, soreness happened to me occasionally.
BUt severe soreness only came when I dropped the cardio. Some inflammation (which is DOMS) is actually beneficial for muscle growth, so I wouldn't ice it , but go even the opposite direction = use warmth.
extremely sore!
