Should I weight lift today too?

[archiz]

I am super sore now, walking like penguin sore.
Yesterday, I mainly did 20 mins of running speed 9-9.5
Then I worked on weights for the rest of the session. Trained almost everything except my stomach.
It s been awhile I didn t lift.
So should I lift today too and push my limits or is it better to stick to cardio?

Should be a split routine and not work all the muscles in one day. Say work two muscle groups a day and make sure to not go from sedentary to 6 days a week right away unless you want to get injured then go for it. Foam rolling helps with the muscles soreness and so does BCAA's

[archiz]

yea it s because I didn t work on that for a while so I thought I d do a full body workout first haha
bad idea yea? :P
anw thanks ^^

[Fearless_banana]

Yes acrhiz. I'll come over there and fck you up if you are lazy and don't. Come at me brah

[archiz]

damn I wish you were my coach really xD
I went but I mainly did cardio. and worked on my stomach more and biceps triceps only.
my legs hurt af though xD
I can t walk lol

[Fearless_banana]

Goodjob. *fist pump*

[archiz]

Haha 👊😊

[lumos]

No, whenever you're feeling really sore, you should take the day off or only do some very light workouts. You might really hurt your muscles if you overdo it, and then you won't be able to work out for weeks.

[archiz]

So light cardio yea?

[lumos]

If you want. Just make sure to quit if it hurts too much. You don't want to tear your muscles.

[archiz]

Okii thanks ^^

[EllieLexis513]

If that's the only exercise you did recently, then yes, you need to weight lift. You're going to be sore because you haven't been working out regularly.

[EllieLexis513]

Please don't listen to people telling you to take the day off if you are just starting to workout again... This is advice coming from a personal trainer because I was in the same spot as you. You can't just stop working out because you're sore because you'll never see progress. You should do 40 minutes to an hour weights 5-6 ttimes a week and cardio 2-3 times a week for 30-45 minutes. Do cardio AFTER weights because your muscles will be too tired from cardio (trust me, I do this and there was a major difference).

Also, you're supposed to work out a different muscle group every day, which may be why your sore.

[archiz]

yea usually I do cardio. most of my sports activities are cardio. so I am still active I played tennis and jogged like 2 days ago.
and usually when I go to the gym I do mainly cardio: 1hour walk- 20min running-20min elliptical- 20min stepper and sometimes bike and just do some small moves with it.
this time I reversed it I did mainly weights and just 20mins cardio reason why I am sore.
and yea I worked most of my muscles: biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, leg, butt.
but I thought since it s been a while I didn t do that so it s better to do a general workout.

[EllieLexis513]

Well, I can already tell you why your sore. You did cardio first, for one, and you did too many muscle groups when lifting. So I guess today, take the day off, but in general, you need to work past the soreness. You being sore does not mean you are injured, so I have no clue why people keep saying that. Soreness is your muscle tearing and rebuilding, so you need to be drinking mass amounts of water. If you do weights or exercise, do abs today. You should be rotating your muscle groups each workout session to give them to time to rest. So if you did arms yesterday, do abs today. Your arms still get to rest, but you're still working out another muscle group. It's like you're resting and working out at the same time.

[archiz]

yea that s what I was thinking ^^
alright thanks a lot <3

[EllieLexis513]

You're welcome. I'm going to see my trainer tomorrow so if you want me to ask her anything for you, I will.

[archiz]

I am fine for now haha thanks and gd lck ^^

[archiz]

Giirl xD
I can t walk at all 😝😝

[EllieLexis513]

Lol! I was so stiff when I started going back to gym. Push through the pain girl! 😂😂😂😂

[archiz]

like really, of I wanna sit, I need to hold on to smthng as support xD

[EllieLexis513]

I know lol. I tried to use the towel rack one time so I could sit on the toilet. I ended up breaking the towel rack and falling in the toilet so I get what you are saying lol

[akadatank44]

Separate your lifting days from your cardio days Sarah! Ever since sports in high school lifting for me has been MWF and conditioning the rest except Sunday is my rest day. You'll be able to lift more and max out more. Otherwise your body gets depleted and you'll be sore as fuck.

[BeerFarts]

Do it. Just remember... pain is just weakness leaving the body :)

[archiz]

Oh I am feeling the weakness alright haha
I can t walk!

[BeerFarts]

No pain, no gain :)

[archiz]

True 😉

[Mustachekitteh]

Which parts of your body is sore? Is it only your legs or some other parts?

[archiz]

almost all but mainly my legs haha

[Mustachekitteh]

Then it's best to rest for a day if your whole body is sore. It's best to not push it if they make it hard to move.

[archiz]

egh I already went to the gym
and now I am in hell xD

[Mustachekitteh]

You need to lay in hot water for a while.

[takumii]

Lol 9-9.5 is nothing but you should not try to cardio and workout on the same day. That's too tiring.
And since you lifted yesterday give your body rest today.

[archiz]

I didn t say it was a lot lol
it was just to warm up before I start with the weights.
I am just saying what I did.

[takumii]

Did you work all the muscles? I am guessing you did legs , do back n biceps if you haven't done them.

[archiz]

I did legs-back-biceps-triceps-shoulders

[archiz]

and butt well squat haha

[takumii]

Holy.. Try to even that out to 3-4 days instead of doing it all in one day. Don't workout today

[archiz]

okii thanks ^.^

[Toad-1]

no lifting. instead it is Time for some in and outs >;)

[archiz]

Come on man 😝

[Toad-1]

lose plenty of calories that way ;)

[YOussefElAdl]

he has a point tho

[gapminder]

Oh like "plow-OH-metrics"

[Tarvold]

You should take a day off.

You can only make negative progress when you're injured.

[archiz]

True

[Anonymous]

I know how you feel, one time for a charity I walked 6KM and the next day I could barely walk. I think you should stick to cardio because you shouldn't over work yourself. Also don't go to hard on the cardio.

[Anonymous]

Noooo take the day off. That is a huge rookie mistake to lift repeatedly especially when you're starting out. Let the soreness go away then go again.

[archiz]

Okii thanks^^
Should I do cardii
Or just take the day off?

[Opinion Owner]

If your legs are sore just take the day off. You can try swimming if you like to take stress off of your joints.

[archiz]

Swimming is great👍
Okii thank you ao much ^^

[Yumix]

no matter what I say, I doubt it will have an influence on your decision :P

[archiz]

yea I am done :P

[Yumix]

well, I'm sure you could use the info from this for other days too :P

[archiz]

in general yea

[LaVilaine]

If you're really sore and having trouble moving, you should probably rest for the day.

[Anonymous]

Stop being beta and life today, I'm pushing the limits too today.

[archiz]

lol excuse me alpha anon
I am just never gonna be up to your level :/

[Opinion Owner]

Lift today and you'll probably come closer than close

[carinerose]

I think u should rest if u are sore. Take a two-day break and start again.

[Decentguy]

you should lift today too but lift light weights and go easy on the weights training

[Keepcalm89]

Damn a 9.95 running your a total Athlete!

[archiz]

That s fast?

[Keepcalm89]

Very fast, I'm in ok shape and I can bearly do 7.9 in a tread mil, your like the roadrunner lol

[archiz]

lol thanks ^^ haha
yesterday I reached 11 though :P but only the last 5mins

[Keepcalm89]

Damn guurl you should try for the olympics

[archiz]

rofl no ahahaha

[Keepcalm89]

Heck yess... try try try!

[Polocrew]

You csnt flex cardio OP lol

[archiz]

what?

[Polocrew]

You can't flex cardio so if your whole workout is based around cardio and zero weights, are you really working out lol

[archiz]

ow okii.
I dunno, usually most of my workouts were mainly cardio. like swimming, tennis dance running etc...
so what now I still lift today or take a break?

[Polocrew]

No separate your lifting and cardio days

[archiz]

alright thanks!

[MasterofYou]

Just take a break... Don't kill yourself.

[Anonymous]

No. If you're hurting then give yourself a break

[ConsultantIsBack]
