Week 1 Soreness

cecedja

Hey everyone,

I've just finished week one and I'm curious if I should be this sore ? The first four days my calfs hurt and now they don't hurt as much but I seem to have traded that pain for butt, stomach and back pain >_< . Your experience, thoughts or suggestions would be helpful !

Hi,

What kind of exercises have you been doing?

Depending on the type of exercises you are doing soreness is normal. Try not to force yourself too much or you may pull a muscle, so take things slowly. Also take cold showers after your routines. Good luck

Hey ! I'm a dancer and have just graduated from a full time college. Everytime, I'd have a number of days off, like for the holidays, my first few days back in training, I'd feel like i'd been in a car crash I was so sore ! So doing something as physically challenging as insanity, it's normal to feel like that ! It might help you to do your own cool down and stretch at the end for at least 15mins.

Hope this was helpful !

I started going to Anytime Fitness last week and I am very sore, this week I'm going to lift light weights and work on form, I think the extended soreness for my is my age, in the past the soreness went away quicker !!

Insanity works a lot of different muscle groups, so, yeah, you're going to have quite a bit of soreness for the first week or two. Any time I starting working a new muscle group, or work a muscle group in a new way, I'll have three-four days or soreness.
