I used to judge how good my workout was based off how sore I was the next day
I thrived on feeling sore because I thought it meant my muscles were growing
Wrong 😊
Being sore after every workout means you probably need …
- More food
- More focus on sleep & recovery
- Better stress management
- More rest
You’re breaking down your muscles every time you lift, do cardio, workout …
The extreme soreness shows that your body is having a hard time repairing itself
Which leads to no muscle growth, feeling weaker, & possibly even losing muscle
Today, the only time I will feel sore is if I do high volume of an exercise that I’m not used to
Or it’s the week before my period, which I’m still working on managing my workouts better around this time.
It’s not normal to feel sore all of the time
Soreness does not equate to hard work
Chasing feeling sore is probably holding you back from your fitness goals
Take care of yourself - workout smarter, not harder 💪
