Why Your Muscles Ache So Much After a Workout

But what’s causing it (other than general muscle breakdown)? Let’s take a look.

You’re Going Too Hard, Too Soon

If you notice your muscles are painfully sore (to the point where it hurts to move them), then back off the weights a little. Do fewer sets and try not to train so intensely — at least until your muscles acclimatize to the activity.

You’re Not Massaging Them Properly Afterwards

Many of the world’s top athletes get massages every time they go to the gym. Why? Because massage is one of the most powerful tools for helping muscles recover more quickly.

You’re Eating The Wrong Foods

When it comes to training, some foods are better than others. For example, eating a lot of processed junk will lead to increased inflammation in the body and make it more difficult for tissues to repair themselves. By contrast, eating natural anti-inflammatory foods can prevent muscle soreness from occurring in the first place.
