It's a common myth that you need to feel sore after your workout to experience strength and other performance gains. Sometimes, however, it's inevitable. Muscle soreness is caused by doing something your body is not used to doing. People just starting a workout program usually experience the most soreness. As their body adapts to working out, their chances of experiencing significant soreness is greatly reduced. With the metabolic chains we've introduced this session at boot camp, many of us have had more soreness than usual. This is normal as our body adapts to this new training method.
Instead of relying on muscle soreness to gauge the effectiveness of your workouts, it's better to look to your progress. Are you getting stronger? Are you able to lift heavier weights, do wall sits for longer, do more push-ups or hold a plank for longer? Can you do cardio for longer at higher intensities? If you're trying to lose fat, are you?
