Muscles definitely hurt all day today, but when I went to do the exercises it wasn't an issue at all.
Do people that workout hard regularly basically live in a state of tight tender muscles all year round or what?

it's not as bad once you get past about 2 or 3 weeks... that's why people generally don't keep with it, getting over that hump is hard... What helps is getting more protein in you, even if it's just from food and doing some sort of cool down eg a short run, long walk or in the pool for a bit.
I had issues working with my sister and my nephew recently with squats as well... best way is to get them to do it without weights at first, should feel like sitting down on the couch, keep back straight and butt out! hehe It's definitely easier to do than to teach.
dead lifts is even harder.. but the good thing is once they get the hang of that they can do anything, those are kinda tough for form.
