Should I exercise my muscles
while they are sore?...
The short answer is no, you should let your muscles rest 2-3 days before working out again. Your muscles actually grow stronger while you rest. You should relax and wait for complete
recovery in order to exercise again. A
condition known as a delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS is stiffness and
pain that you can feel in your muscles due to exercise
routines and it is felt within the first 24 - 72 hours after
the exercise. You can workout a different muscle group until your sore muscles have fully recovered.
Some tips to help prevent muscle soreness:
- Warm up before your workout.
- Stay hydrated during your workout.
- Consume a post workout protein drink with in an hour after workout.
- Vitamin C...500 mg of Vitamin C about an hour before workout.
