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?

Like others have said it’s DOMS. It usually happens if you haven’t worked out in a while. Just keep at it for 2 to 3 weeks and you won’t feel it much anymore. Also need to eat more protein to recover. Whey Protein powder is good way to do it.
