Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Ok, day 4 of my challenge, " cardio day " , my problem today is that my leg muscles were so sore from yesterday's workout that I couldn't keep up on the treadmill... I almost rolled right off the back!! I couldn't drop the pace either, otherwise it really wouldn't have counted as a true HIIT cardio workout. Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this problem in the future... Is there some sort of remedy that will help with this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I have heard that glutamine helps, but it also gets better with time as your muscles get used to working out. The best thing is what you did, just do what you can on the treadmill and work some of the lactic acid out of the muscles.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I avoid cardio machines which require me to stand up the day after a lower body workout! Try using the bike instead when you feel like that. Once your muscles get warmed up it feels fine. > Ok, day 4 of my challenge, " cardio day " , my problem today is that my > leg muscles were so sore from yesterday's workout that I couldn't > keep up on the treadmill...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Who says you can't reduce the pace and still be getting a HIIT cardio work-out? You are still in the beggining stages of your cahllenge and are still trying to find you intensity levels, it only makes sense that you may not have been able to achieve your original intensities after a LBWO. Next time reduce the speed, don't hurt yourself! In no time you will be in the swing of things and you will easily be increasing you intensity levels. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 After my grueling lower body workout on Wednesday, the treadmill yesterday morning actually seemed good. I think it stretched out some muscles that were so, so sore. My hamstrings are still killing me especially when I go down stairs. I'm just hoping it will go away in a few days but wonder come Monday when I do my lower body workout if I'll be able to do the exercises! We'll see. Hang in there! > Ok, day 4 of my challenge, " cardio day " , my problem today is that my > leg muscles were so sore from yesterday's workout that I couldn't > keep up on the treadmill...
