Did I work out to much?

Question

So I recently started working out and my legs are in so much pain I can't even bend down to pick stuff up without it feeling super sore it's been two days since I have worked out :( any advice?! For someone who is starting out?

Answer

The Second day after is always the worst day.

Answer

Every time you work out a muscle, you are tearing the fibers and then they grow back stronger, which is muscle toning/strengthening. When you don't have strong muscles and you hit it hard, you literally are tearing the muscles to shreds which is why you're feeling all the pain and weakness. I remember the first time I had a trainer and being so out of shape, I fell out of bed the next morning because my legs seriously didn't work! Just make sure to eat protein and drink a ton of water but you'll feel the pain which is unavoidable in the beginning. You shouldn't feel so bad the next round. And also never work out if you're feeling that pain, you have to allow your muscles to heal before you're back at it, or else you could cause some damage.

Answer

It might sound weird but my husband says it really does work. Drink chocolate milk after a work out and eat a lot of protein. They both help with muscle repair.

Answer

Make sure to stretch, and I know it's hard but try to continue light workouts while your sore or cardio. Walking will actually help stretch out your muscles so their not as sore, when you baby them and try to rest them when their sore they will just become stiff. Also try a hot bath or shower.

Answer

Your body will get use to it just continue. Don't stop just because your sore because when you start again the same thing will happen lol it happened to me

Answer

It's normal if it's ur first time exercising  in ages but it's also normal if you've been exercising nonstop for a couple of months

Answer

You probably just need to stretch more.

Answer

Try stretching before and after. Your body will get used to it though-it's totally normal. I used to be sore for a day or two after working out. Also you should have a muscle rebuilding drink after your workout! It really helps.
