Thread: still soar from weightlifting?

I was lifting weights in my physical conditioning class two days ago and my muscles are still soar? why is this so? Could I have possibly over did it? or did I just work really hard?

you've just worked the muscles that are not use to workin so hard. its totally normal so dont worry.

Muscle soreness can happen to any of us at any time. It usually always happens to people who are just beginning an exercise program, but can also happen to trained exercise enthusiasts who overload excessively, or who change from one activity to another, or work the same set of muscles in a new and different way. You might want to make sure you are providing ample time for your muscles to recover from lifting — generally forty-eight hours. This means that your strength workouts should be every second or third day. If you have to lift every day, don't work the same muscle groups, or work opposing groups and secondary muscles. For example, work chest and triceps one day, back and biceps the next.
