Post workout soreness comes from an accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. Stretching, drinking lots of water, and a good post-workout meal containing both carbs and protein will alleviate it. That said, some people just don't get post-workout soreness like others do! It certainly doesn't mean that your friend didn't get a good workout in by any means. If she truly is hitting her level 10s (and this is more a mental concept than a physical one... your mind quits before your body does) at every workout then she will make awesome progress, post-workout soreness notwithstanding.
