fitness Does your body get really sore after workouts?

[NatureFreak]

I’ve been working out for the past two weeks and feel pains and soreness in my muscles after training. I feel it after every workout session, I want to ask if it gets better?

Or what can I do to reduce the soreness?

You are going to be sore after every workout you do, especially if you just began 2 weeks ago, but recovery time does shorten.

Time and ensuring there's enough of a gap before hitting those muscle groups again is the best and cheapest solution. However, if you have the money to spend, I've found that glutamine can help with muscle soreness and quicker recovery.

When you're a year into working out regularly, you'll probably only notice soreness for about 12 hours or so.

If you have just started, getting sore body after working out is a common phenomena. It takes weeks before your body gets adjusted to your workout routine. Just make sure your body does not get injured.

Based on experience, it’s nothing to worry about because muscle soreness is normal when you are just starting out. When it happened to me, I felt pain all over my body, and I wanted to quit. I was told that it would stop if I continued the workout. So, my body gets stronger each day.

This is not something uncommon. I haven't seen anyone who just started working not having such a complaint. You are not alone in this, as I have been there as well. I’ll share you some Important tips

1). Makes sure to eat enough protein, you can get that in foods like fish, beans etc
2) never stop exercising because that's what will take the pains away
3). If after doing the above and still no change, please consult your doctor

It happened to me too and when I asked same question, I was told that muscle soreness is normal, especially when you just start exercising at first. It takes time before your body adjust to it, but you need to continue with the exercise or even make it a routine.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a real thing and is especially prevalent and can become an issue if you play competitive or physical sports, or do a lot of jogging/running and aren't keeping to a super regular injury-free training schedule.

I myself play football and rugby and suffer a lot with DOMS on some occasions, especially if I have three games in a week which occasionally happens. I try to eat a lot of bananas to help with the cramps and drink isotonic drinks to help with energy replacement.

DOMS is a real problem and with your demanding sports schedule , it can be quite a nightmare, I strongly understand that. If only you know there is such a thing, then it is good that you are trying to do something about it. Taking potassium and replenishing the body energy are very effective ways to solve this .

Failure to allow the muscles to rest can most certainly result in more severe muscle stiffness. If you do not take breaks when exercising, your muscles are not given a chance to recover and repair thus worsening the soreness.
