It Was Inevitable... DOMS

Okay, I'm not going to pretend you're an idiot, but just in case you didn't know DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness... and I have a serious case of that after yesterday!  I'm sure you've read many posts or articles about DOMS and how it causes muscle pain in the day or two after intense exercise, a new routine, or a new exercise program.  My DOMS is from a combination of all three of those reasons! If you experience DOMS don't be alarmed!  This is a normal response to exercise and is actually a good thing because it is part of the muscle's adaptation process (= you are getting stronger).  Needless to say, I will be having a love affair with this guy all day long...

I love my foam roller!

My workout today is going to be a super easy bike just to loosen up my muscles and get a little reading in :)  When was the last time you experienced DOMS? 

I just started reading this late last week, it's a little hard to get into but about 50ish pages in I am finally starting to get interested.  Have you read this book?  What did you think?
