why do muscles start to REALLY hurt the following day

1.03K 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?

I can’t explain why, but I can explain that it’s something that should really only happen pretty early on in training. If you consistently feel REALLY sore from a workout you aren’t doing something right. You’re either using too much intensity of simply not working the muscle often enough.
