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?
In: Biology
It’s a known thing, called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It’s sore the next day because you need to rest before you can really begin to recover — it takes 2-3 days for muscles to recover fully, so by the next day you’ve still got plenty of recovery to do, and are feeling the most of it.
