I hurt so I decided to go for a walk to loosen my muscles up. Omg after 20 mins I felt like I was going to fall down! My gluts and my thighs(dunno the muscle) are killing me. And every now and then I take a step and feel the muscle on the top of my thigh tighten and then release and it makes me feel all wobbly.
Is that normal?
Yes and no....that helps right?
Kind of depends on the training....if you are doing a bit more hardcore jump in, then yes, normal (to an extent).
My first day after my first bootcamp, oh my! I couldn't even sit down to pee without help from a wall, etc. And yes, my legs did this weird spasm thing that made me feel very awkward. Worse was I had to drive 4 hours that evening and everything locked up worse in the car.
My one friend who is a fitness buff does not like this style...prefers a slower more gentle approach. I think I kind of see merit in both.
Now though, its better. I still will get over sore if a new muscle group is worked that I am not used to but today, even after only 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night (thanks new LKH book) I am just a tiny bit sore and that's after a fairly intense workout.
For me, I soaked in Epsom, and took magnesium and a bit of ibuprofen.
My friend who does bootcamp with me swears by rolling...basically using a foam roller (like a noodle) to kind of roll over the sore muscles to help them.
