Question: Body aches after weight lifting?

(Posted by: Daniel L on 2008-09-23 23:18:50)

I started weight lifting yesterday and today my body aches, is this because I have just started lifting and I will eventually get used to it?

Yes this is because you have just started weight lifting. You will get used to it withing a week.

Yes. It's perfectly normal. When you lift weights you are actually releasing lactic acid into the muscles and tearing fibers. The pain you are feeling is a good thing. It just means you damaged your muscles in a good way. Now, your body uses protein to rebuild the muscles, bigger and better than before. Generally speaking, your first week or 2 of lifting weights will be the hardest on your body. After a while the pain won't be as bad anymore.
