You may be suffering from weekend warrior syndrome. If you are not active during the week, refereeing on the weekend can cause strain on under-utilized muscles.
The key to conditioning is to exercize every other day, with a rest day in between. You need time to rebuild muscle tissue, and you need a consistent exercize routine to convince the body to produce more muscle cells to supplement the injured muscles, as opposed to just repairing the injured muscles, which the body will do if there is enough time.
Repaired muscle tissue contains scar tissue, and it is the scar tissue tearing that causes the morning aches and pains. If you exercize regularly, the body supplies new muscle cells, which are less susceptible to tearing than scar tissue. This is why body builders work on lower body one day and upper body another.
Four days a week is usually the optimum exercize pattern. Of course, if you're already doing this, then in the words of Emily Litells, "Never mind".
