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?

I'm assuming it's your legs that are sore. I'd suggest some light stretching. Very light, don't push. In my experience over stretching is terrible for DOMS. Then go for a walk

Yes! I stretched too far in a yoga session once when I had DOMS and messed up the muscles in my hamstring and knee for 6 months!!!!
