DOMS



Make sure you stretch multiple times daily! Stretching "sessions" aren't necessary, but make sure you get in some stretches throughout your day. If you're at work, take a couple of seconds to open up those hips, do some squats, throw your arms for some dynamic stretches (chest, shoulders), etc. It's important to keep moving even when you get that soreness a day or two after a workout.

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) mean you've built some muscle. Think of a getting a new broom. The bristles are new and stiff but after time and use, it becomes flexible and works well. Same thing goes for your body. That soreness is you breaking your new "bristles" in.

KEEP MOVING!
