nikkia Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi everyone! Today is my third day using zenlabs and Im excited to looking forward to a healthier and better me! Today I was working out and my legs were hurting so bad that I had to stop. Any suggestions on what I could use to help with pain? And what is a good speed to begin running? Thanks to anyone that applies. Heather1966 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abrennan4692 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd recommend doing some stretching before starting your workout. Look up runners stretches in YouTube to stretch out your leg muscles. As for speed, take it slow as you're starting and gradually increase over time. You're jogging to start so it's not much faster than a walk really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Stretching and yoga on off days to keep those leg muscles loose Im also a huge fan of advil and icy hot when the natural remedies dont quite cut it. Speed is always tough to gauge when youre first starting. A good rule of thumb is you should be running slow enough that youd be able to have a conversation with someone without huffing and puffing.

KellyAnn Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Nikkia. If you do back to back joggin/running, you will be sore. When we work out we tear muscle fibers and that is why we are sore. They heal and that is what makes us stronger. When I do T25 DVDs , man , by the 3rd day , can barely walk, he uses the calf muscles a lot. But it gets better. Make sure you stretch properly after your workouts and again if you feel it later. Just make sure you Never Ever , stretch a cold muscle. You will pop a muscle and be out for weeks. Not cool. When I taught 10 classes or more, it sucks to be down with a popped muscle. Welcome here and proud of you. Everyone helps here and it is so nice. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
