Sore from exercise?


Question:
when your sore from exercising does that mean you are getting stronger?

Answers:
Hi Nikki,

The soreness usually results from the muscles not getting enough oxygen during exercise. When this happens, lactic acid is produced which sits on the muscles.

Also, during weight training, if you use enough resistance you break down muscle tissue. During your recovery period between workouts, your body repairs the muscle tissue, making it bigger and stronger. So you actually get stronger while you rest, not during the actual workout.

Hope this helps,

Curtis

means your working muscles.
Means you worked your muscles, which in turn means you are getting stronger.
It just means you are old and flabby.
Means your muscle fibers have torn and will repair themself and build more muscle!
It means you are using muscles that have not been used too often, so in that regard, yes you are beginning to get into shape.
Yes, soreness is usually a sign you are getting stronger and gaining muscle. Soreness means you had a good workout. Now make sure you consume enough protein so the muscle can repair and build itself.
it means your using muscles you been not using much and they will get stronger
yeah it also means you muscles r getting bigger and u r burning fat
Yes. The "No Pain No Gain" myth is partially true. If you are challenging the muscle, you will feel a bit sore. However, the pain should not be dibilitating. Then you're hurting the muscle.
Yes it does.
Means you've broken down your muscle tissue and depending on how much protien you're intaking to rebuild the muscle it will grow and become stronger.

If you're not taking in enough though you still will get a bit stronger but it will peak and you won't see much gain.
If you're sore, it means your muscles are working, which could certainly lead to getting stronger if you keep working out...especially if your workout includes some type of resistance against your muscles, such as weight lifting, push-ups, etc.
it means your pushing yourself hard & that is what you want...so yes your muscles are building when your sore.so what you need to do is get used to a routine where you can do it without getting sore then add to it until your sore again & repeat this process and great results will follow

hope that helps =]
