3 Tips to help Decrease Bleeding during Menstrual Cycle

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Dave W

Gym/workout mistakes: Are sore muscles bad? And: Which exercise is best for “bingo-wings”?

I started going to the gym daily (never been before and my fitness level is… none existent). I warm up by running for 5 min, then I do stretches. After the warm up I do 100 crunches, cycle for 60 min, have 30 min on the cross trainer and then I cool down by walking (fast) for 5 min again. Now, I do have sore muscles afterwards – as I obviously am super unfit – and a friend told me it is actually not good to train so much that it gives me sore muscles the next day. I thought it’s a good sign that I actually “used” my muscles for a change. So is it bad?

Also: I would like to know which exercises are best for abs and arms. I do crunches but was told they only help a little but I should do other exercises for abs as well if I want a flat stomach. Any tips? Nothing too complicated though – I am a total beginner.

Thanks
Well, they will be sore for a while cause I am constantly at the gym. Should I put in rest days in between???

Answer
Sore muscles aren’t bad. if you’re sore, you’re doing fine. That lets you know that you’re getting stronger, because when your muscles get sore, the acid(Some kind of acid) released from the muscles breaks them down, but they will be repaired and be built back up stronger.

Unless you’re sore for a while, I wouldn’t worry about it.
