DOMS

DOMS: Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

So I may have learned about this in multiple classes but we all know experience is the best teacher and let me tell you, I have had some up close and personal experiences with DOMS over the last 2 weeks.  I started a training program 2 weeks ago called Crossfit.  If you haven't heard of it, it's a high intensity program with its primary focus on weight training at rapid speed to incorporate cardio workouts as well. And it is tough! I'm just in the introductory class right now which is 3 days a week for 4 weeks, and its basically to teach you all the motions so that when you start going on your own you can complete the workout of the day without having to ask a million questions.  We have two trainers that yell at us so we don't stop! And also so that we are doing it right so we don't hurt ourselves. All that said though, I really am enjoying it. It's tough and I'm usually still sore from the previous workout when I start the next one but I like that its structured. You know exactly what you'll be doing that day because they program the workout.  And I have someone there watching, pushing and encouraging me.  And hopefully one day soon I will climb the 3 flights to my apartment without my quads bursting into flames at the top! :) Happy Sunday everyone!
