When I work out, I try to vary my exercise from day to day. Not only does it prevent me from
getting bored, but it also gets me to work different muscle groups. When you jump into a new exercise routine or complete a pretty tough workout, you'll probably wake up the next day and be so sore, it hurts to laugh.
I'm one of those people who
LOVES feeling sore the day after working out. I love to feel muscles I haven't felt in a long time - it makes me feel like I really worked it.
That
sore feeling is normal, and it's caused by
microscopic tears in your muscle fibers. When your body rebuilds the damaged muscles, they become even stronger.
