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?

There is going to be some muscle damage and lot of inflammation which causes pain.

One tip I once herd was to slowly increase amount of exercise. So maybe do 5 push-ups to start and gradually increase over time.
