Is it Too Soon to Work Out Again? Anytime Fitness San Angelo

Is it Too Soon to Work Out Again? Anytime Fitness San Angelo


When trying a new workout or pushing your limits during a workout, you can experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Don't worry, though, this is quite normal for this type of situation. It's actually a sign that you are getting fitter or stronger. This can be quite discouraging to people who are trying to get fit after a long time away from any type of exercise. So if you are relatively new to the fitness scene, you may want to try to gradually ease on into the new workout regimen. 

Typically and quite often, people mistake DOMS for a buildup of lactic acid in the muscles, but lactic acid doesn't have anything to do with DOMS. The soreness is believed to be caused by microscopic tears and damages in your muscle structure. Your body needs to heal and so the soreness is possibly a way to let you know that it needs rest and healthy nutrition to repair itself. Amino Acids are essential in the repair of damaged muscles and one of the best ways to get them is from protein. 

Now putting aside the great debate about the benefits of natural protein versus isolated protein, your muscles do need to repair. If you are sore, it is my opinion that you should give your muscles all the time they need to heal. This is how you get stronger, faster, and build muscles. If you go in to work out your chest and it is still sore, you may want to focus another muscle group to allow a complete heal. Muscle tears up, rebuilds, and then makes you stronger so don't cut their repair time short.

All in all, I may weight train a muscle group one day a week. I push myself very hard that day and usually, I get really sore for quite a few days afterward. The next week, I am ready to go again.

Are You Getting What YOU Need from Your Personal Trainer? Have you been using a personal trainer? Do you feel like you are getting what you need from the sessions that you have been having? Here are a few things to consider if you are looking to evaluate the overall effectiveness of your personal trainer. Does Your Trainer Watch You? During a one on one session, do you feel like you have the attention of your personal trainer? Personal training is just that: personal.

Some of the Many Types of Gym People

The Myriad of Gym Goers  There are lots of different people who go to the gym and some just stand out more than others. Plenty of people come and go and their workouts are over with before you even knew they were there. Some others... Well, they just make an impression on other gym goers.  The Grunter Some people make noise when they lift. They breathe heavy, they strain, they groan. Some other people, well, they make a show of every single lift. The primal grunting that comes from these people makes sure everyone knows what they are doing and where they are doing it at. You either can find it entertaining or highly distracting. For a few people that may be new to a public gym, this might be a little intimidating. HRAAAAAUGH!  ONE! HRAAAAAUGH! TWO!!! The Narcissist  This breed of gym patron spends more time taking selfies while sitting on the machines than actually using the machines. Other times these people are more concerned with how they look in ...
