Is it good to be sore after working out?

Question

what if some areas I worked are 'not' sore???

Answer 1

I love feeling sore after a good workout. I think if you didn't work that area good enough, you won't feel sore. However, it doesn't mean that you didn't work it. You're muscles are just adjusting to the change and are growing which is a good thing. The harder the work out, the more sore you will be. I've found that by running cross country for years and strength building. Just remember to do stretches.

Answer 2

Soreness depends on a lot of things. Being mildly sore when you're in the middle of a particular routine means that you just got a good workout. However, being sore after you've done a lift for the first time or after a long period of having not utilized that muscle, then that phenomenom is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, or DOMS, for short. It lasts for a few days but it's imperative that you do not skip a lifting session because of it. Just try to warm up the muscles before starting your lifts. DOMS is perfectly normal, and it does cause quite a bit of discomfort. In any case, being sore generally means you are doing something right. However, not being sore can mean that those particular muscles have already adapted to the exercise that you're doing, in which case you should switch up your lifts so that your performance doesn't stagnate, or that your lifts were kind of light. Not being sore doesn't necessarily mean you didn't get a good workout, if you're midway or nearing the end of a program.

For reference, a routine or program is a set of lifts that you follow for many weeks.

Answer 3

warm up with the same exercises which you are going to do with light weight and reps before your workout, stretch after workout, it could relieve your muscle pain, use a massage and take a hot shower. the soreness usually means your muscle tissues have been torn due to a good workout, after they heal your muscle and strength will grow. when you first start your workout, the soreness can be pretty bad or even painful, just make sure you let it rest and recover and remember, never train a muscle that's still sore from the previous workout.

if the soreness doesn't go away after a week, then it's a sign of injury which means you have over trained, let it fully recover

Answer 4

I like the feeling of soreness after a workout, but it won't happen every time. Just because you aren't sore doesn't mean you didn't get a good workout. Make sure you change up the exercises you do for each body part.

Answer 5

Being sore after a workout does sometimes follow. Try warming up more thoroughly next time. Anytime you start an exercise program, you have the potential to be sore. But be careful to ease into a regiment. Don't rush your body. It too must become warm to the idea.

Answer 6

If you are sore you are overtraining. Your soreness could also be from not leaving enough space (days) between workouts. Muscles recuperate and gain in size, not whilst you are training, but while you are resting and sleeping. Also, you could be sore because you have not warmed up before exercising. Either way, if you want more info and advice email me.

Whoever told you this was retarded. A canker sore is an ulcer in your mouth and sugar will feed it and only make it larger. Sugar also feeds bacteria. Canker sores run their course, but can be helped by keeping them clean (alcohol free mouthwash) brushing your teeth and keeping irritants away from them like sugar, salty foods, acidic foods, etc. You don't get pimples inside of your mouth. You may have them on the outside of your mouth, but then you could also have herpes simplex virus type 1 if you are getting sores on your lips and inside your mouth.

Answer 8

Being sore after a workout shows that you are exercising your muscles and they have been working.

If you are not sore, you might be able to do your workouts too easily, and you might consider upping the weights or doing more exercises, etc.

Answer 9

my body is peculiar after I work out, it seems like the places where they say are suppose to hurt are different than what they say it should be and though we all have the same body parts, are bodies are different, when I open my arm straight out it moves differently, just as a person who is double jointed their body moves different, we are all created different but have similarities. so we can not expect every thing within our selves to be the same. it does not feel good to be sore, but it symbolizes a healthy aspect in what we want to acquire when we work out. I have hear when we work out and are building up our muscles, for greater strength and health. the muscle tears and then heals back.

Answer 10

Being sore means you stretched a muscle past where it has been used. Let it heal with lots of good food and water. And it will be stronger. If you do not push the muscle to excel it will not get stronger. But remember good food and water.
fruits, and veggies, limited meats, nothing fried,no dairy, nothing white, no fast foods, lots of water and exercise and rest.
