Soreness is not an indicator of progress, and neither is the absence of soreness.
You are making progress when your performance improves--are you lifting more, doing more reps of whatever bodyweight exercise you are doing, running faster/longer, etc? If so, you are making progress, and not being sore while doing it is just a bonus.0 -
what kind of workouts are you doing? Try to up the intensity/weight/speed depending on what you are doing. Could be that your body is getting accustomed to a certain level of activity, so continue to challenge it0
