Is it normal for my legs to hurt?

[Anonymous]

I started working out again on Friday. I did lower body, I did those leg ups (not sure what it is called but but you push a large platform up with your legs), I put 50lbs on each side and the machine weighed 118lbs by itself which means I lifted 218lbs with my legs. Ever since it has hurt. Its sore to walk, is this normal? will it go away?

Muscle soreness is normal, learn to love it if you are at all serious about lifting. Also learn to squat with a barbell the leg press us a waste of time

you sure? It seems like it does something, I don't know what but the trainer said so

[ThunderFox]

If you want to train your legs all you need are squats and deadlifts. Ask your trainer to show you how and if he says "squats are bad for your knees" or "deadlifts Re bad for your back" find a new trainer

I don't wanna be buff, I only want to be toned

Squats and deadlifts...

[Asker]

what about for upper and how many?

[ThunderFox]

Chin ups, dips, bench and overhead press

It sounds like post workout soreness. Just as a random tip for the future: Soreness should be expected. Pain should be concerning.

You either tore down muscle and it needs to rebuild or your form was horrible and you got injured.

Rest.
