OWWWWWW!!

[Aunt to sweet baby boy]

I am in sooo much pain right now. I went to the gym yesterday in the morning to have an appt and speak with the trainer about what i want from the gym and stuff and i have not been the same since. I worked out muscles i did not know that i had. I tried to take motrin but it did not help. I woke up at 6:15 this morning in so much pain.....

what should i do? I stretched and have been stretching all day with no results....

Do some light walking. I find that once I get moving, I don't feel as sore. Also, be prepared for the possibility that you might be even more sore tomorrow. It's a phenomenon called delayed onset muscle soreness. In a nutshell, it's the breaking down of the muscle fibers which stimulate the muscles to grow bigger and stronger.

Hang in there. I found that I was sore after almost every weight workout my first month of hard workouts. It will get easier and you will get into awesome shape as you continue. Trust me!!!

You're doing a great job!
