You might have seen a very fit and/or strong/bulky guy taking the elevator..
Now why would he do that when he looks like he could outrun it with stairs? He might have the time to do it, is he lazy? But then if he's lazy, how is he strong/bulky or fit? It might be DOMS (Delayed onset muscular soreness).
If you work out hard enough, you get micro tears in your muscles which your body then repairs. Delayed onset muscular soreness starts 1-2 days after a workout and can last for a week ( Yep! That truly is no pain no gain.) This delayed muscle soreness is great, it is by far my favourite. It is a great indicator that you've had an effective workout, you are constantly reminded that your hard work did not go to waste! Delayed onset muscular soreness is also a great reminder that you have to keep feeding your muscles nutrtion, afterall, nutrition is the key to the lock of a great body!
Do not forget to drink a lot of water, not underestimate sleeping properly, stop making common mistakes to become happier!

That explains why i feel like shit the day after hahaha
Dude, I'd like you to do a post on blisters. Since I started running, I'm having huge problems with those.
DOMS are rough, thankfully they go away if you stick to a planned workout.
The sleeping part can't be said enough, even though 90% of the time I don't do it. But the nights I do, I find my workouts way more effective.
I've never really thought of that, but it makes sense.
Also, it's not really a tip as it is general knowledge. Just an opinion, don't mean to step on toes or anything.
Nice reminder and a great incentive. When i can, I choose the stairs.
my muscles have been feeling sore lately as i am running harder now that my tenditis has gone away. I'm glad it's a good sign.
Ive also heard that if you don't rub down major muscles after a workout a build up of acid makes them more sore the next day how true is this?
Excellent news, I'll keep this in mind after I lift some weights at the gym.
oh, i always just thought it was a sign that i was out of shape!
Oh... that explains a lot.
I do P90x, jiu jitsu, and muay thai kickboxing, so my life is a constant state of DOMS. I can't remember what it's like to not be sore... wouldn't have it any other way.
This makes sense! I try not to work out too hard when I do...because I rarely work out! I know my body can handle very little until I build endurance... :)
thanks for the tips! :P
I'm not in love with the soreness, but I do love a workout that makes me so tired I just want a nap. Oh exercise coma sleep, I do so miss you. I'm not sure, but I think you only get this from endurance training. I haven't felt it from just lifting or even martial arts classes, but I do get it after a swim workout.
I always take the stairs to comfort my self that i did my daily practice..
gotta love working out, falling asleep that night, and feeling damn sore the next day. its all worth it though
I love the burn you feel after doing abdominal exercises, don't ask me why :) The other muscle aches... not so much
1-2 days? More like double that for me.
I'm having body pains all over but I don't think it's because of that reason. I think my body is just weak.
That explains a lot.
great info :P
This is so true! I love a good workout that gives me this. I was wincing all last week because I had it from a killer leg workout.
i get sore for a week sometimes after if its my first session in a while. good to know the muscles are growing
This is great!
explains a lot.
i love water :D
I think my body started to adjust and I feel less pain than before. I guess I'm doing it properly then.
very interesting, ive always wondered about it
i lovee drinking water :)
I love this blog post! So easy to read and an interesting one at that. I look forward to your upcoming posts! Keep up the good work! Followed
I had this few times, but usually soreness come next day after waking up
Back when I used to work out a lot I had these pretty much constantly.
Yeah, the most soreness seems to happen like 2 days after.
Nice post. I like the feeling of being sore days after a workout. Makes me feel healthy, but it hurts.
