Rest a day. Every time you work out, your muscles tear a little bit and when they heal they are a little stronger every time, but you need to give them time to heal. You should always rest a day or two before working the same muscles. Try a different muscle group for tonight, and go back to that tomorrow night.

Resistance weight training causes micro-tears to the muscles being trained; this is generally known as micro-trauma. These micro-tears in the muscle contribute to the soreness felt after exercise, called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It is the repair to these micro-trauma that result in muscle growth. Normally, this soreness becomes most apparent a day or two after a workout.\n\ntake l-glutamine around 3000mg a day to help this

Be sure to eat enough after you long runs so that you are making up for all those calories that you are burning.  Also, drink lots of water and sport drink before, during, and after your run so that you stay well hydrated.  Stretch well and recover after your run.  You are likely feeling a little down the next day due to being sore and tired.  If you run that day, be sure it's an easy recovery workout only.

It is ok to still workout, just watch your form. If you are still hurting, your form may suffer, and that may cause real injury that wont go away after a couple days. You will just have to really focus on your form. Good luck

You are simply burning the lactic acid in your muscles.  You may be sore the next day, but that burning you are experiencing is harmless.

With vigorous exercise, your muscles use anerobic energy and build up lactic acid.  That is what causes the pain.  Rest for a bit, the lactic acid gets reconverted to other forms of energy, and it doesn't get tired anymore.

First of all, your muscles do not grow while you exercise. They grow after the exercise is over, while they are recovering. This is why rest is very important. You should not exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. Give them at least 48 hours to recover, more if you work them harder.\n\nIf you go over an hour, you start to enter a catabolic phase. This doesn't mean you will lose everything you would have gained, but you maximize your gains by keeping your workout under 1 hour.

Soreness of muscles after an injury is a protective mechanism of the body by which the body keeps the part affected taut and gives it rest.It is a sort of a plaster\nYou can take some pain killers like voveron tabs. local mruubbing with ointments like relaxyl and of course full rest for at least 48 hours. .

If you work out certain muscle groups on certain days then, for example, work your back and legs, Monday, Stomach and arms Tuesday, then rest a day and start again. This has the most effective results, moving from larger muscle groups to smaller, with day breaks. Alternating days works ok if you do full body cardio or strength training, but the results usually is not as profound. Good luck!

No. This is DOMS, or delayed onset muscle soreness. It means you tore the muscle, and certain chemicals leak out of the muscle and cause pain. You can grow muscle with having DOMs or without - in other words if your muscle are not sore the next day it doesn't mean they didn't grow.\n\nJohn

About three times per week. You should definitely have at least a day of rest in between each major workout.\n\nRemember, muscle is not built during exercise - it's built after. We create tiny, microscopic tears in our muscles when when we exercise, and when our body heals those tears, a tiny bit of extra muscle is added to provide extra protection. Therefore, the rest period after exercise is the key to muscle gain.

whether you are trying to make them bigger or maintain them the answer is going to be the same. You should wait at least 48 hours before working that muscle area again. If you work them out every day you are not allowing the muscle and tissue around it to repair itself and are only going to do damage to those muscles.

Sometimes your muscles ache after working out, either due to the lactic acid build-up or tightness of the muscles. They may also ache if you are dehydrated. If you are exerting a high effort, you may also increase the lactic acid build-up, or be working harder than your muscles are accustomed. Poor conditioning can make your muscles hurt!

As a trainer I can advise you to take one day a week off from training and dieting!  It's important that you have one day a week to eat what you want, and also to "get back with it" the day after!  Go have fun and enjoy, no need to work out today!  One or two days off a week from exercise is very important too, to allow your muscles to rest and restore.  Have fun!

I would let any muscle group rest 48 hours before hitting them up again.  Rest is essential.

Side effects of what?  Sex itself?  Well, it's exercise so you might feel some muscular soreness or something.  Or are you talking about pregnancy?  In that case, no you won't feel side effects one day after having sex.

Muscle fibers become torn after an intense exercise. They then need time to repair the damage, and prepare for another round of intense exercise by making a little bit more muscle. As a bodybuilder, I will not exercise my muscles till they are not sore, and I know that my muscle fibers are repaired and prepared for another round of even heavier weights! So, I would hold off a few days till they feel not sore (sore means that the cells that you broke in your muscle fibers have not been cleaned up by the body and are causing inflammation at the sight. This is so the blood can keep coming in and cleaning up the broken cells as your body repairs them).
