DOMS

Yesterday I posted that I was sore from an excessive workout on Monday.

Today, I learned the term Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.  I only thought I was sore yesterday.

I can barely walk.  Stairs are a horrible, horrible thing.

So, today is a learning curve day.  I am looking into causes of muscle soreness, i.e. pushing myself way to far during a fitness class, as well as cures and prevention.

Under cures I am seeing a lot of rest and light no-impact exercise (walking) and don't be such a macho dumbass next time.  Under prevention I am seeing: keep on working out and eventually your muscles will get used to it and you won't feel this way anymore.  Also, things like whey protein shakes and such.
