6 great ways to deal with aching muscles
Why are my Muscles Soar after exercise?
Exercise physiologists refer to the gradually increasing discomfort that occurs between 24 and 48 hours after activity as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and it is perfectly normal.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common result of physical activity that stresses the muscle tissue beyond what it is accustomed. It is good indication that your muscles are adapting to your new fitness regimen.
