Hobbled around barely able to take the two steps up to my front door the last couple days lol. It still hurts today but it’s tolerable. Is it safe to work out?

    If it’s DOMS, you’re pretty much always safe to work out again. Your range of motion might be limited to start, so you absolutely must start slow, but it is good to move. DOMS gets worse immediately when you stop moving, and improves significantly once you’ve moved around and keep moving. Active recovery like walking, yoga, some other dynamic stretching routine, etc.
