hey all.

ive just started working out. i did my first workout and i am really sore.
im always very sore for a few days after strenous exercise.

heres the question. do i keep my routine if im still sore? or shld i let my body rest?
i do know that the body is being accustomed to the workload. but is it just the first few workout sessions that my body is adjusting? and will i still experience severe soreness after a legnthy time at the gym?

or do u guys just work through the soreness?

thanks for reading. - shawn

actually u should be thankful that u have soreness. Really, soreness are signs that show that ur muscles are stretching and expanding.

since u just started , i would suggest doing things that are of ur limit. meaning that try not to over do yourself. Try to find out what's ur limit first. if u follow those steps, u should nt get any soreness.

you can continue working out, but it's nt reccommended as ur muscles are still "recovering"

Rest a few days,wait for the soreness to subside.As you get used to it,you won't feel so sore.But you shouldnt wait until the soreness is completely gone.Unless your soreness is affecting your range of motion,then you should not train at all. You can still work a slightly sore muscle.

I train each bodypart 3 times a week(1 day break in between) and I don't feel sore after each time.
