Exercise - think I'm doing it wrong.. - MiniMins.com

evilpenguin · 28th July, 2010

Hi guys

I was at the gym last night and I done about 40 mins in total, used the cross trainer, treadmill and the rowing machine.. my friend emailed me today to ask if I was sore from it all but I'm not??! I was knackered at the time, I was starting to hurt and my face was bright red, I was out of breath and my heart was beating very fast... why am I not sore today? Am I doing it wrong? Should you be in pain after exercise..?!??!

worried I'm wasting my time not doing it properly.

Sorry if this is a silly question! xx

Wait until tomorrow lol !!!

sarahm85 · 28th July, 2010

Yup you'll be feeling it the next day lol. Once you get into a routine of regular exercise and your body starts getting used to it, the aches and pains ease.

evilpenguin · 28th July, 2010

I only ever get a bit stiff.. no aches or pains usually. Will see how I feel tomorrow then, I did do a lot more than usual last night.

moomintrolljen · 28th July, 2010

This is why i avoid exercise - obviously not good for you!

Happy Holidays · 28th July, 2010

Maybe you're fitter than you thought & your friend isn't very fit. That's why they ache & you don't.

judimac · 28th July, 2010

When I went to the gym, I was only ever stiff for the first 2 weeks no matter how much I did. Even if my legs felt as tho they didn't belong to me afterwards!

kristin1 · 28th July, 2010

Good Lord, no! You shouldn't feel in pain after exercising! If you do, you've overdone it, or not stretched/warmed down enough!!!

You may still feel some soreness tomorrow, but you've obviously done really well, pushed yourself but not overdone it, not injured yourself.

Well done you, and keep exercising!

sugar_lipswales · 28th July, 2010

I'm one of these sadistic types who actually like the soreness the day or two after lol! You say you're doing the cardio but are you doing any weight training? It helps to do weights when you're losing wieght to sculpt your body and tone up.

Circes · 28th July, 2010

You should consider adding in some weight training as well as the cardiovascular work you're doing. Great for toning up your muscles and will help you burn more calories even when you are not exercising.

evilpenguin · 29th July, 2010

Yeah I do a little bit of exercise using the weight machines, I do the one you pull down in front of you, the one you pull in from the sides, and for the first time ever I used the leg one - no idea what these machines are called!! I can only manage 15 - 30 pushes/pulls when it's on about 3kg.. the weights hurt me more than all the other exercise so I take it easy with them.

I actually did feel a bit rubbish yesterday, stiff and tired, I think it's more of a gym hangover I get??

sugar_lipswales · 29th July, 2010

Get one of the instructors to do a programme for you, the ones in my gym are awesome!

evilpenguin · 29th July, 2010

I would but the instructors are only there mid morning and I work full time, it's a civil service gym too so it's pretty crap for things like that anyway. Never even got an induction!

Ellebear · 29th July, 2010

i think if u stretch and stuff before you exercise, you will reduce your aches the next day. xxxx well done for going to the gym - i cant manage to get there yet lol! xxx

evilpenguin · 29th July, 2010

Ellebear I highly recommend going along! I absolutely love the gym. I never thought in a million years that I'd actually enjoy exercising
