why do muscles start to REALLY hurt the following day

1.06K 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?

Saw this post by a physical therapist that said there’s an alarming amount of people who don’t understand muscle soreness after a workout and by golly gee here we have one.

You work out then your muscle are going to get sore lol. It’s the process of building more muscle, they break down and rebuild. It’s perfectly normal to be sore days, even, after a workout.
