why do muscles start to REALLY hurt the following day

1.05K viewsBiologyOther

So been being more cautious about my health since I’m in my late twenties and decided to try to exercise some more. Starting out with 25 pushups and 10 burpees (probably not a lot but I felt winded) and after the exercise I felt fine. Then the next day it starts to hurt like something smart. Why though? Shouldn’t the muscles be rested after that point?

You’ve been visited by the DOMS: delayed onset muscle soreness. Very normal, honestly don’t know why it happens but I get it too from time to time when my recovery isn’t optimal.
