Re: Question for you Experts.....

[Guest guest]

If it were me I'd just keep on with the routine and do the leg workout the

next day. I know from experience that I would never progress if I didn't

work out through my soreness, whether it's running on sore muscles, or

lifting weights on sore muscles.

Just my opinion..

That kind of brutal soreness is always worst when you start a new exercise or

activity. It will get a whole lot better in the coming weeks. Unless you think

that you might be injured, ignore the soreness and get your workouts in.

Exercise will increase blood flow to the muscles and alleviate some of the

stiffness and pain.

Personally, I've been sore every single day for like the last decade. :-) I

wouldn't be getting much exercise if I waited until nothing hurt.

I am gradually working up to actually running (when I am not

spitting out my lungs I kind of enjoy it). My question is, after I

do my intervals of running and walking, my glutes and legs are

really, really sore for a couple days. Can I do my lower body the

next day or should I wait until the soreness subsides???? Same

thing with biking up hills, quads sore for a while too, not sure if

I should just jump right into the squats and leg extensions.....????

Thanks!

Thanks you guys! That is kind of what I was hoping to hear. That

soreness is almost like something I have earned......and I like it.

: )

Is that weird?

LOL! I am the same way. I worry when I'm not sore and know it is time to

change up the exercises and push myself a little harder.
