I get sore to, so I stretch on my days off, so I can be ready for him to kick my butt again tomorrow. hahaha Stretch, stretch, stretch as much and as often as you can. The soreness will go away the longer you're at it. Stick with it hon, when you start seeing the results you won't care about the pain. *grin* -------------- Pauline Serenity is not freedom from the storm but peace amidst the storm.

Does two things,helps with the sorness and adds to your flexibility, off days as well. And ya we are save at this distance if your hurting that much and are getting the hurt will pass....ouch...

If you did them right, probably even sitting on the toilet lol will hurt like hell. But heck, you know you worked them. And in the future, they dont ache much after you work them out regularly, just like every other muscle.

Good luck on the legs; I still get sore ever time I to those damn squats...But, they are great!!!

Now you know why alot, and i mean ALOT of people that work out in the gym are afraid of them. But they will net you the best results! If you do squats on a regular basis, you should not have pain like you do on the first time you work them.

fryer91 Posts: 441 Joined: 2003/09/29	2003/12/12, 09:25 AM Parallel squats, box squats, deep breathing squats, squats with bands, sissy squats, front squats, etc etc etc...My body still hasn't gotten use to the variety, and the different ways that it hits the legs, so, still sore most of the time. Definately not like the first time I did them, but still sore none the less.. Good luck!
