I am guessing from your question that you are rather new to working out. If you just started or are starting again after a long break than yes, being sore after a workout is very common. It is not uncommon for your body to be sore for a few days after a hard workout when they aren't used to being worked.

A good way to help minimize soreness is to have a good Post Workout shake containing your whey protein and simple carbs such as dextrose/maltodextrin in a 2:1 ratio. Also including some glutamine will help speed muscle recovery.
