I am a great runner, cardio is never a problem. But now im doing weight training. my abs or stamach muscles HURTT ! Hurts to stand and laugh or move. Its not leg day or squat day but its AB day again, so what do i do. Im in pain. does it get better if I keep going and ignor the horrible sorness? or thats what I get. Mind over matter, or is there a cure ?

    It's fine to lift with soreness.

    That said, you probably don't need an "ab day"

    What routine do you do? How long have you been strength training for?

    It is fine to work out while sore as long as it does not compromise your form.

    Another idea would be to reduce the intensity and weights a notch and let your body adjust to the muscle soreness. Within a few weeks it shouldn't last more than a day or so.

    I did squats Monday and ran last night (slow easy pace) with no problems at all. My legs were a little sore when I left but a 15 minute warmup walk helped take care of that.
