Take breaks to stretch the sore parts and pieces. It feels awesome to do it in the water. something about the buoyancy is really nice, I guess because it take stress off the joints. but the bike will probably be good too.

You will probably become less sore as your body adapts to the more strenuous exercise schedule. The first few weeks are always the worst.

Roller derby is an experience, especially at my age. But big girls trying to mow you down on roller skates is very motivating too
