Should I Be Sore The Next Day After My Workouts?

Answer: Soreness the next day, or DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is not a good indicator of completing a great workout the day before.

All soreness means is that you did some activity that your body wasn’t used to doing. Typically, most people are sore the next day (sometimes up to 72 hours) after finishing a new workout routine. As you progress through your 4-6 week program you should be less sore each week, or not all.

You do not have to be sore after every workout to get results. On the contrary, if you are sore from every workout it means that you are doing too much. It’s also a signal from your body letting you know that you are pushing the envelope of burning out and causing more harm than good to your body…

If you find yourself constantly tight and sore, try cutting back some of the volume from your workouts. Start by taking out 1 set of each exercise (or just from the body part movements where you feel pain). You can also just cut back on the amount of weight you are using. Then, you can always go back and add in a set of additional weight once the soreness has subsided.

Train smart and your body will reward you! More
