Calves are killing me!

hartsoup Posts: 51 Joined: 2003/03/13	2003/03/19, 10:09 PM I worked my calves out 2 days ago through the FT.com program. I was doing standing calf raises on the calf machine. They didn't hurt or burn to bad after the workout, they were hurting a bit yesturday, but today they're killing me! I'm having a hard time just walking and I'm supposed to work my calves out again tommorow, but I think i'm going to let them rest some more. Anyways, I think my main question is, is this an injury or is it just sore muscles? I haven't worked my calves out that much before. thanks.

(o; Don't worry it's only the first time, you go ahead continuing working your calves (when the first pain is over!). -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
