Why do you have sore muscles after workout? In what way has it something to do with growing new muscles?

Resistance weight training causes micro-tears to the muscles being trained; this is generally known as micro-trauma. These micro-tears in the muscle contribute to the soreness felt after exercise, called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It is the repair to these micro-trauma that result in muscle growth. Normally, this soreness becomes most apparent a day or two after a workout.\n\ntake l-glutamine around 3000mg a day to help this

It hurts because you did more than you usually do, or this is all new to you. It'll take some time for your body to get used to your workout. It'll work as long as you stick to it, and keep increasing as your body gets used to it.\nGood luck!!

That can happen, unexplained.  So then when we focus on the sore problem, it simply becomes worse.  Better, relax.  We are made to be healthy any way.  So knowing this, get busy doing something physical like great exercise.  And work on eating healthy too.  When you do this, those aches and pains really do become less and go away.

If you worked out with weights I wouldn't. You have to give them time to repair and grow. If you workout again while they are still sore you'll risk injury. You might be able to get away with that if all you were doing was calisthenics. Give yourself a day or two.

Don't sweat it....Actually go ahead and sweat it! Let your trainer know that you are still sore so he or she will start warming you up slowly.  Once you get going, the soreness will subside.  The body has a way of getting rid of soreness once it senses you are starting another workout.  If you remain sore after your warm up, let your trainer know. You may be overtraining. If your trainer knows you well, he or she will know your limits.  Also, study the signs of overtraining so this doesn't happen too often.  Good luck!

They will if you over do it and you have only just started exercising.  Ask the gym for a plan of exercises.  You will ache until you get fitter and then you won't ache so much.  Also, make sure you warm up and cool down stretch that way you will avoid getting yourself an injury.

Working your muscles until they hurt means they are working hard, and will repair themselves stronger than they originally were.\n\nHowever, working them until you can't stand anymore means you'll be more sore the next day, and wont be able to work as hard.  There's a fine line.\n\nWhat sort of exercise are you talking about?

Muscle fatiguing and cramping are somewhat related.  \n\nFatigue is do to your muscles using up the ATP in the muscle cell.  The phosphate is essentially exploded off of the ATP, becoming ADP and needs to be replaced.  When it isn't replaced fast enough (which is why body builders take creatine phosphate) some of your muscle filaments aren't able to contract since some of the filaments don't have an expendible phosphate on the ADP.\n\nCramps.  That's a bit vague.  Do you mean soreness after exercise?  Or do you mean when the muscle stays in contraction without effort?\n\nIf you mean soreness, then that is because every time you contract a muscle, it thickens and stretches the epimyceum, the layer of connective tissue that surrounds the muscle.  This is the only part of the muscle that has pain fibers.  he more you contract it, either by intensity or prolonged use, it tears the epimyceum.\n\nUninitiated contraction is due to an electrolyte imbalance.  Either your intake of electrolytes is low, you flushed them out by drinking too much water, or there is excessive lactic acid causing an change in the membrane potential.

You need to drink lots of water. If you are that sore, then you must be sweating it out by the buckets! Also, plain water is not the best. Drink something that balances your electrolyets, like Gatorade or some similar product. If you don't want to go broke buying Gatorade, make your own. Just mix Kool-Aid or whatever brand you prefer (non-sweetened) with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. This replaces what your body loses during the workout. I would recommend drinking 1 liter of water for every hour you are working out, and following up with one liter of Gatorade and continued water until bed. Also, keep water by your bedside and drink it regularly when you wake up at night (to turn over or to get up and go to the bathroom). Doing these things will prevent your body from getting too dehydrated from the work out and will rebalance your electrolytes. Also, do not strenuously work out the same muscle groups 2 days in a row. This does more harm than good as the muscle does not have time to repair and grow between workouts. DO however stretch the muscles thoroughly and make sure that you do not "nurse" them the next day. Stretching a couple times throught the day, combined with your normal activity, will help to release the lactic acid from the muscles as quickly as possible. The less you drink and the more you "nurse" the muscle, the longer you will be sore. Finally, eat banans and raisins as your snacks. These are high potassium fruits and will help to prevent muscle cramps, especially at night. I learned all these things the hard way when I began working out. I hope what I have learned helps you!

Just keep going.  Typically, the soreness is worse 2 days after you work out...not the very first day after.  The best way that I've found to relieve soreness is drink a TON of water, and work out again.  You are going to be very sore the first few times, its a given.  Your muscles are literally tearing and rebuilding themselves.  It's good though, dont get discouraged, it will get a little bit less painful every time.  Your doing good for your body.  Keep it up!!!

Depends on why they are sore.\n\nYou can work through the IDOMS (Induced Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or Syndrome... one of the two) that you get about a day after you've exercise a new muscle group. Take it easy though so you don't tear anything. Jogging is a good way to get rid of these (get some blood going through em!)

Soreness is to be expected.  If you continue to work out your body will get used to it and you will only be sore and or tired for maybe 30 min. or less after your workout.  I work out a lot myself and have experienced that many times when I have stopped working out and then started again.  Happy to help.

If your musles ache the next day your doing it right, but do it everyother day.- because muscle need to rest 24 hours after a good work out. Don't for get to eat protein and muscles eat up fat so you need a little body fat to make muscle.

To your muscles, they do not know if you are pushing or lifting your body, a big rock, or even a set of weights. WEIGHT is WEIGHT.\n\nWhen you exercise to failure, your muscles are simply worn out.\nIf you exercise AGAIN, the same day, after you have worn out your muscles, you are damaging your muscles, not helping them.\n\nIf you want to get good results; do your exercises, and then rest a day before you exercise again. The muscles grow stronger and healthier when they are resting, not when you are exercising.\n\nNOW for the difference with calisthenics and weightlifting. \n\nWhen you do weightlifting, you can choose how much weight you are lifting. When you do calisthenics, or even pushups, the amount of weight you push against or lift, is based entirely on the weight of your body. You cannot add weight, or take weight away.\n\nSoooo, if your are not physically fit enough to push or lift against your body weight, you strain and sprain yourself into injury. With weights, you can CHOOSE how much to lift and avoid injury if what you want to lift is too heavy. Simply cut back on the weights.\n\nBottom line, weightlifting will take you further, with rest included, than any other exercise.

there are 2 types of working out.  cardio, and lifting weights.  if you do cardio, running joging.  machines. yoga (hehe) it works your heart and builds up stamana.  this does not do much to your muscles.  when you lift weights, it actually tares the muscle from your bone, this is what makes you feel sore. cardio does not rip much muscle from ur bone, so you feel tired, not sore.   cardio is more important for a health lifestyle. however its better to have a good balance.  if you are lifting weights and are not sore.  then simply use more weight and push yourself harder having more weight.  less weight with more reps (try using just more reps at a time) will give you more stamina, while less reps and a much higher weights will build your explosive brute strength.\n\nalso keep in mind. less weight more reps gives you more tone.  and definatly do this... get ancle and wrist weights while working out. it ads to your resistance which will cause you to be sore.  \n\nif you are working hard with cardio, and arnt sore. then ur in darn good shape. quit comlaining.  i have more strech marks than i have cash in my wallett. \nim a guy using his fiance's yahoo\n\nadam is incorect. your body does not need to be tricked... your body gets used to the work out levl because your body get stronger,  increase the weight, run faster.  your body will continue to get stronger.

Streching. Get a Yoga book from the local library. Streching increases the rate of metabolism in one's body, which causes faster muscle build up. If you work out regularly, you will no longer feel soreness in your muscles.

If you are just feeling sore and your muscles are somewhat tight, then what you need to do is stretch, for a good 20-30 minutes, two to three times a day. Your muscles aren't used to exerting themselves so much, and for the first 2-3 weeks, your body is going to be sore because it is re-adjusting to the new you-congratulations by the way! You should be working through the sore muscles, and this will only be for the first 2-3 weeks. Unless this pain is real pain, like keeping you from being able to move, etc. because then you may have torn a muscle, in which case you should go to the doctor. But soreness is a good sign when starting to exercise, b/c that means it's working! Keep up the hard work! :)
