How did your muscles feel this morning getting out of bed? Chances are, it's been a little difficult climbing stairs or bending down. Your back and your chest maybe a little tight and abdominals are tender. Sound about right?
You are experiencing DOMS- Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. We talked about this very moment on Monday. Remember? We planned for this moment on what we were going to be thinking about. Imagine your body and all these little microscopic construction workers repairing those muscle fibers. Just like anyone else, those little workers want to be paid. How are you going to pay them? Calories!
Now, do not think for one moment that you can eat whatever you want because, "I'm burning calories." Right now... today... is your opportunity to eat perfectly! Eat the way we have recommended and you will feed the muscles and not the fat. You can still get fat or stay fat if you eat like crap and workout 6 days a week.
Let's make some hardcore progress this week! Also, get in front of the camera and take a BEFORE picture before you start looking hot!
Respectfully,

I know that I'M certainly feeling the DOMS. But I have to admit that Wednsday was bad, but not too terrible (other than my leg cramping up so I couldn't walk up my steps). Thursday I felt like wooden poles had replaced my hamstrings and calves (with occasional fiery ants crawling up and down them). And today I'm on the tail end of the real pain. Sore, but recovered back to better than Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThe same with me.. Thursday was the worst day as far as soreness. Today, other than my calves, was much better. That is until our fabulous workout, we shall see how sore my arms, chest, shoulders and abs are... oh and my ankles..and just about everything else! Thanks Duncan! :-)
