Such a thing as too sore?

Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/02/14, 11:13 PM I know it's sick.. but I do like being sore after a workout to some extent. I seems to me that if I don't feel sore, I didn't do it right or enough. I've been working with a trainer and I am proud of the fact that when I think I can't do another rep, he tells me to do two more and I find I really do have it in me. But this last workout has me SORE AS HELL. It was a tough leg workout with some serious lunges yesterday, and I made it through, but my muscles are screaming today every time I move. Went to the mall and walked around for a bit, had to keep moving - the stopping then starting again is a bee-otch. Had someone comment to me though that if going down the stairs is that rough, I probably overdid it. Made me wonder if that could be true??

Good luck - Mike -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
