Theres a Difference Between Sore and Injury

Many people after they work out they believe that they are injured and that they are doing something wrong. Well this is a wrong assumption because you are not injured, your muscles are just sore. Every time you work out your body should feel sore. That's how you know you got a great workout! But sometimes you do have to worry if you feel something is wrong and that the pain your feeling is not the usual sore you feel something may be wrong. My suggestion is let that muscle rest and stretch it, if it still feels bad after a week get it checked out by a doctor. Don't work out the part of the muscle that is in pain or else you will make it worse. Obviously a broken bone or a sprained muscle is an injury but a muscle that you worked out the day before and you feel that you cant even move does not mean you are injured.
