Workout Questions - How To Relieve Muscle Soreness

workout questions Workout Question:
I started working out 6 weeks ago and currently I do weight training twice a week and usually I am sore for 2-3 days after that (more if I do very intense workouts). Is this OK?

 

workout questions Workout Answer:
Yes, it's actually a good thing your sore. This tells you that your muscles have been worked very well and they are recovering from an intense workout. Try to work on recovery methods for relieving the soreness, like taking a hot Jacuzzi after your workouts and deeply rubbing/massaging your muscles for 15-20 minutes. This should decrease the soreness in the trained areas.

In terms of the weights, try to always get stronger and stronger. This way, you will always tax your muscles and make them hypertrophy (grow). Your one of the lucky ones if you keep getting stronger and stronger. Most people hit a plateau and can't seem to increase their weight lifted after the course of many years.
