How sore is to sore to work out?
I am sore today but not crazy sore. Just when I move a certain way do I really feel it. I worked out two days ago. Did weights, steps and treadmill. It was about an hour workout. How do you know it is okay to work out again? Do I use the weights again or just do cardio? Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.
