Go there but dont workout the same muscle everyday that is pointless if you do that...You should have atlest 48 hrs. of rest before you workout the same muscle again.
keep going and hang in there
If it is sore you MUST NOT go to the gym. Rest until they get well.
Keep up your routine. Work through it.
You have to let your muscles take a rest, you dont want to tear them. I would take one day off. Switch it up...upper body one day, lower body the next, alternate.
if u're that sore then u need to go rest u don't want even more sore do u? just rest for a couple days and hopefully it will stop
hope u feel better!
No you should rest ,you need to rest to recover and heal. if you want to go every day do a different muscle group every day it gives other muscles a chance to recover.
Sounds like you had an awesome workout!
Go for a walk as it will help loosen up the muscles and joints. Don't do weights though as it will not be of any benefit to you as your muscles need to repair themselves. (The main thing is not to work the same muscle groups on consecutive days)
Also have an epsom salt bath and give your body a massage as this will help relieve some of the pain and any knots that are forming.
you should break your weight workouts into groups not do an all over this way youl avoid being sore al over and be abe to work out different muscle groups while resting the other. Id still go to the gym but start with a 10-15 min medium cardio session to warm up that is crucial otherwise youl do some damage. Also stretch after your workouts for atleast 10mins. we have a lot of stretching http://www.myfitmate.com.au
Your muscles are sore because when you work your muscles they burn protiens and sugars and as an end result give off ATP, and lactic acids as a byproduct. The acid is what makes your muscles hurt. Lactic acid builds up in the muscle tissue and causes the fatigue and soreness you feel in your exercising muscles.
You can help your body to exercise better by eating the right foods. You know that muscle metabolism involves the phosphagen system, glycogen-lactic acid system and aerobic respiration. The major fuels used are glucose and glycogen. So, if you want to do well, whether you are competing or just exercising for well-being, you should try to increase the stores of glycogen in your liver and your muscles. Athletes eat solid, high-carbohydrate diets (breads, pasta) the night before competition, and liquid, high-glucose diets in the morning before competition. Sports drinks containing glucose are good to drink during competition to replace fluid and help to maintain blood glucose levels.
Lactic Acid and Performance
Lactic acid build up is most commonly associated with the intense burning pain felt in your muscles after an intense effort. Recently, a lot of attention has been focused on reducing lactic acid build so you can exercise at a higher intensity for a longer time and improving performance. In order to understand how to reduce the lactic acid build up in your muscles, you need to understand a bit about how it is developed in the first place.
During most exercise breathing rates increase and in turn increase the amount of oxygen traveling through the body. During aerobic exercise this increased oxygen is enough to meet your energy needs. During intense efforts, however, there isn't enough oxygen available to continue using the aerobic system to create energy. At this point you switch to anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) to create energy. This system works without oxygen to supply energy to the muscles for a few minutes of high intensity effort. The downside is that you will soon feel burning muscles and have to decrease your intensity and return to the aerobic system.
What is lactic acid?
Lactic acid is a by-product of anaerobic glycolysis. If enough oxygen is not available, lactic acid is produced and begins to accumulate in the muscles. Lactic acid causes the "burning" sensation felt in muscles during high intensity exercise and also prevents muscles from working their best. This burning sensation is the result of a change in muscular acidity.
The point at which lactic acid begins to quickly accumulate in the blood is known as the anaerobic threshold or Lactic Threshold (LT). You can reduce the lactic acid build up faster if you perform light exercise after an intense effort. Continue moving slowly until your breathing rate slows.
How can I produce less lactic acid?
Through proper training. When your aerobic capacity is increased with training, you produce less lactic acid than you do when untrained. The closer you can get your anaerobic threshold to your Max VO2, the faster you will become. Simply having a high Max VO2 does not necessarily make you fast; but being able to sustain an effort close to your Max VO2 is what will determine how fast you can become.
Training will also make you better able to burn fat for fuel, a process that does not directly produce lactic acid. During maximum efforts, you will also be able to withstand higher lactic acid levels in the muscle, before they begin to fatigue.
Interval training is one key to reducing lactic acid buildup. Your training program should include interval training two to three days per week (include high intensity periods alternating with moderate intensity periods). Your body will learn how to handle lactic acid that is created during these high intensity workouts. This adaptation will gradually allow you to continue at a higher intensity for a longer time without feeling the burn of the lactic acid build up. In addition to interval training, you need to perform endurance training.
