Muscle soreness
I lifted on Monday after a 4 week break. I knew I was gonna be sore. I gave myself a break by walking on the track yesterday and no lifting yesterday. After two days I am just as sore as yesterday. How can I lift again today and work through the soreness? I have been stretching each day too.

After researching and taking physiology, anatomy and pathology classes, I found that weightlifting is very important for fat loss. I think the myth, using low weights and high reps to "tone" is true.

water retention
