Working out when one is sore is one of the ways to deal with soreness. If you're sore again, doing bodyweight squats on off-days may help, depending on the kind of soreness. It's unlikely to hurt, anyway. Oh, and with the DLs -- if you have range-of-motion problems, it's totally ok to put the ends of the bar on a platform to raise it, since there aren't weights on the end to do that for you.
With the lunges, yeah, jumping isn't right. I'm not doing particularly well with this exercise, either, because my feet sometimes cramp when I do them (it might be related to my crazy-high arches?). One way to do them is to actually go all the way down, putting your weight on the knee, and then standing up. I might try that if my feet start bothering me again.
The workouts get longer in week 5 -- three sets of everything. I'm kind of happy to ease in like this.
