sore muscels after 3 days.

skinnyrobin Posts: 224 Joined: 2002/05/10	2003/03/07, 02:28 AM When I have Karate on monday, my muscels are still sore 3 days later. Is this normal? Or does it mean my diet is inefficient?

I've done it for awhile and after the first couple of time my muscles were killing me, but lately that hasn't been a problem. I don't think it's a diet thing. -------------- Be patient, persistent and strong and you will succeed.

When i started up again I took squats really hard and it felt like my hamstrings were going to pop. I was sore for three days after ward. But after a few weeks of lifting legs on a continous basis I only get sore for about a day. So my question is how long have you been doing karate for???

I've been boxing for almost 1 1/2 month now but I'm still extremely exhausted and sore the couple of days after. Be sure of getting a good meal after the class, a good nice warm shower and rest. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

JennVice Posts: 120 Joined: 2003/02/25	2003/03/10, 05:13 PM sometimes you need more of a cool down or more water to reduce soreness. Also you could just be pushing yourself to your limits every time (which is good!) ... I know this summer when I was working with a personal trainer, he pushed so hard that every time I went to see him I would be exhausted and definatley sore ... but i did see good results

Its probably (like jennvice said) coz i go to the limits during training. Its not a problem with relaxing the muscels, coz afterwards i go swimming and in the sauna. I'm usually too tired to do any proper swimming, so i just sort of lie in the baby pool. :) trainings getting more demanding by the week so thats why they don't properly get used to the strain their under. it doesn't really matter anyway, i was just curious. besides, i love the tired and worn out feeling after training. thanx everyone for your replys!

Medical probs, and two open heart/lung suregeries. So now I am trying to get back in shape. At least healthy. In the years before I had donw Gymnastic and Tae Kwon Do and Aikido. Well I did my first day of the beginning routine. Now 3 days later. My calves and Quads are very tender to the touch. I would love to have any suggestions. I have continued upper body but have laid off the legs. I used to when active was to just work on through the soreness and it would get better. I am not sure now. Thanx all for answers.
