Sore Subject

If anyone is new to working out or is just starting up again after getting out of shape please know you will be sore and stiff for the first couple of days. Do not be discouraged by this though because this is perfectly natural. Your body not being used to the exertion and strain you put on when lifting or running will have to deal with some muscle soreness. This is a good sign though because it tells you your muscles are working and transforming into what you are looking for. So again if you experience soreness this is a good sign you are heading in the right direction for your fitness. By working out consistently the soreness and stiffness will subside and you will begin to build muscle and become fitter. Don't forget to stretch though otherwise your muscles will be tight and you don't want to be tight, you want to be loose. I am currently trying to get back into shape and believe me I am sore and stiff, but I take 10 to 15 minutes a day to stretch out my major muscles and it helps you not only relax but feel loose.
