Z||000000||missgalaxy||07-14-2000||12:37 PM||missgalaxy@hushmail.com||Its stupid cause i should already know.  <BR>I said i was gonna start training harder and i have.  Wednesday was leg day and worked em really good (am).  Then later that night i did about 50-60 lunges.  They were a little sore but of course yesterday they were frickin killin me.  Last night my baby put some bengay on them and i was planning on going to the gym this morning to do my usual cardio.  They might be sore as shit but i know once i start the cardio the pain usually goes away.  Anyway my boyfriend advised against getting up and doing cardio -- says it will just make them stay sore longer and delay the healing of the muscles; but i've heard before that its ok to go ahead with cardio.  So does this mean everytime i'm sore i have to avoid cardio until the soreness subsides somewhat? Or is it ok to do the cardio? Sorry - this is something i should already know  <IMG SRC="http://www.elitefitness.com/ubb/frown.gif"> ||24.92.209.24||reg||

I usually whimp out and just hobble along for a walk in the morning instead of a jog until a couple of days later when my legs start feeling "human" again.  I DID try something one time that totally amazed me.  I heard that Muscle Meals was supposed to be really great stuff and that you could get a free sample at ironmanmagazine.com.  Well, tell me something is free and I am right there!  I got the stuff in the mail and decided to put it to the test.  I put my legs through one heck of a workout all the while praying that this MM stuff was all it was cracked up to be or I wouldn't be walking for a week!  I knocked it back after my workout, tasted pretty good.  The next morning I felt absolutely fine.  Later that evening (I work out at 8:30pm) my legs started to feel a little stiff, but nothing AT ALL like I expected them to!  I was truly amazed.  I guess the fats in the mix (and I believe they are the healthy fats) are what do the trick.  I have nothing to gain from getting you interested in MM so I'm not trying to sell you anything.  I was just SO impressed with the stuff, especially for "legs day" that I just have to share this info with you.  ||208.16.252.61||reg||

Plus, massages (not talking about typical relaxation-type) improve circulation, muscle separation, and allow the fascia to be released.<P>------------------<BR>If you do what you've always done, you'll end up with what you've always gotten!||205.188.197.166||reg||

It slows down the micro bleeding inside the muscles (decreases the size of the hemotoma and you increase healing time) and speeds the recovery.<P>------------------<BR>MarkKeMax<BR>...IF YOUR NOT BLEEDING, DO ANOTHER SET...<BR>||206.47.98.241||reg||

They were so sore when i had to go upstairs at work i was growling each step.  They think i'm crazy.  This is probably more than you guys want to know but so frickin sore i had to put both hands on the toilet seat to have leverage so i could lower my ass without losing balancing or falling arghhhhh.  ha!  Well like i said they are better now so i'm off  do some cardio, maybe 30min. instead of 45 and abs! See yous lata. missgalaxy||205.188.200.23||reg||

I admit I have been there, but it's usually when my diet is lacking or I don't get enough rest that week.<P>------------------<BR><B><I>BRING THE PAIN</B></I><BR>||198.164.210.174||reg||
Z||000011||missgalaxy||07-15-2000||11:31 AM||missgalaxy@hushmail.com||Ceas -<BR>As i posted in your thread (beginners&steriods) i have discovered or better way to put it "decided to admit" that i have been majorly slacking with my workout's.  My diet has been clean and i have gotten at least 7hours of sleep each night.  My legs were in extreme pain and it is because i used machines i've never used before and done exercises i've never done before.  I am steppin up my routin cause i have been taking it to easy for too long.  I'm sure they won't continue to be that sore after every workout, once i get used to a routine but you know if you haven't REALLY worked out legs in a month or so they are going to be extremely sore. I've just been a slacker and now i'm ready to kick ass. ||152.163.213.176||reg||

Even if I miss one leg workout and then pick it up the following week, I'm more sore than usual.<P>BTW, I know you look Italian ... are you actually from Italy?<P>------------------<BR><B><I>BRING THE PAIN</B></I><BR>||198.168.250.107||reg||
