Well, with the caveat that this isn't a medical diagnosis, stretching
(slow stretching) probably would help, but like I said it just sounds
like fatigue. You probably used muscles you haven't used a lot and
they're not used to the workout. I find when I'm going to the gym (and
when I do it tends to be 4-5 times a week) for the first few days I have
that kind of muscle soreness.
Just going out for a brisk walk might help - I find when my legs are sore
from working out, a good walk can stretch things out.
But I also will take something like a couple Advil before doing that -
the effect the painkiller has on dealing with the pain means I can get a
better stretch out of the walk (because I can go longer) and that helps
get the muscle back in shape.

Ever work late? If you do, grab a conference room (if there aren't any
windows and you can close the door, so much the better if you don't want
to be seen). :-)

There is that as a benefit as well. The activity is good for you, and
it's good to see that you're keeping it up. :-)
