I just started getting back into exercise recently and my muscles are stiff and sore............i had to roll out of the bed this morning LOL.
I have already given myself a rest day yesterday and want to know if i should do the workout today and push through the pain or do i leave it a bit longer. Advice please.Some advice guys ????????????????
dont skip another day without exercise, by doing more exercise when you're stiff, it helps get rid of the lactic acid build up in the muscles (at least thats what i was told). so push through the painSome advice guys ????????????????
Get in a lot of branch chain amino acids. If you are sore longer then a day you may be over working. After a specific point working out has no additional benefit to muscle strength or tone.
My advice is to get a personal trainer from 24 hour fitness. I have had a personal trainer for just under a year. The very first day I worked out my sugar crashed so bad I needed an ambulance. My trainer knew exactly what was happening and already had my sugar coming up before the ambulance even arrived. It turned out I'm a hypoglycemic. The next day I went in to see my trainer he had planned out a complete nutrition guide that included working with hypoglycemia. I am now in pre-athletic condition and am working on being in shape for athletic tournaments. They have worked with me regarding soreness and even injuries. If you want to get in shape with fast safe results a personal trainer is the only way.

Soreness is okay - it's just a way of your muscles saying ';I'm overstrained - I'm going to build up tissue to compensate';..
Try this - when you workout, work opposing muscle groups on opposite days...
For example, monday work biceps, chest, abs...
tuesday work triceps, back / shoulders, butt....
It's also important to have the right supplements when you work out, taking a creatine and whey protein shake 30 min after you work out will minimize the soreness...

Leave it a bit longer, but only a day at the max.
Let your muscles heal first than work out again.
But dont wait till your completely not sore,
just start again when you think you can run. :)
You have to train your body to your work out, so bite through the pain. :)
good luck! :)
And remember: PAIN IS YOUR FRIEND!!!
I think give it another day. Make sure you warm up and stretch off, try mobility stretching. Hold stretches for 8-10 seconds :) And ALWAYS cool down, never just stop.
The stuff that's causing muscle pain is lactic acid, you get it when you do anaerobic exercise. You may not realise but you need to breaatheeee lots when you exercise.
Hope this helps xxxx
I once did a 100 mile walk in 3.5 days. The second day I was so stiff I could barely move. However once we got walking my legs started to loosen up and I was able to keep going. It did not do any harm. It is up to you if you think you can get to this point then keep at it. If not a rest might be just the thing.
try eating some bananas. they help a lot with reducing soreness/stiffness. next time, if you quit working out for a while and are trying to get back in it, start out slowly. but you should definitely wait a bit longer. working out while you're really sore does no good and can actually do harm
Get back into it slowly, at an easy pace. If your muscles are really sore, maybe you're over-doing it. If it's just moderate muscle pain, then you could always exercise different muscle groups the next day. Do a completely different exercise routine.
U should leave it a bit longer. Because your muscles haven't been t use to exercise for awhile, it will feel painful at first. I recommend you rest for two days, then exercise again, then u'll be ok to start a workout pattern. Hope this helps! :)
Push through it - I know, it kind of sucks, but unless this pain is a pulled muscle, etc the best thing to do is push through it.
Good luck :)
p.s. - don't be too hard on yourself; try to pace yourself with it.
if ur body is getting sore,,,its a good sign....
there has been action for the muscels.....
u can try 2 do some streching exercises for various parts of your body ,,,,,and the start wid pull ups and pushups and a then .... try .. i mean just try ,,,,, 2 do one set of all the exercises u do with lighter weights(ie if u use weights)....
tc
i agree with nil (but unfortunately can't vote yet :P)
wait a bit before working out again, but don't *try* to rest. what i mean is, keep moving around, that way you work out the soreness. then when it's gone, go work out again.
STEP AWAY FROM THE PC
GET SOME EXERCISE YOU USELESS LUMP OF LARD
only joking... I thought you might want a motivational speech. Obviously, I'm not very good at it.
after a long gap our body takes time to get back into the prevois order......i think u should continue the exercise... according to your physical strength.. don't over do.....
Keep going luv,it will only get better as your body gets used to it .Good luck.
I reckon u should keep on doing your workout, so ur body get's used to it...I think being it sore is a good thing.
just carry on. it will be fine with sometime as ur body is getting used to it.
