Aching body...

[Harmony]

I know your pain, I recently started in kyokushin and I could hardly move the first week!

I've been training for a year and a half now, and Ive had aching muscles ever since... hehe.

Course, as has been said, it's much worse in the beginning. You'll adapt, and the soreness will turn into nothing more then chronic aching... heheh.

Welcome to MA training

Ditto to dtstiachi. We all love MA and we tend to work very hard. But we also must remember to listen to our bodies. Some pain is good. It means that you're doing what you set out to do. Too much pain is bad. It means you are over-stressing you body beyond the acceptable limits. Where the line between "some" and "too much" lies entirely with you.

The good news is that you can do things to control pain, and most of it has to do with your diet, not Aleve. High fiber carbs, good quality protein, and the right amount of Omega-3 fats will really help out. Sugar will make the pain worse and lead to longer recovery times.

try to relax more. whilst you should feel that your muscles are sore from being stretched and yes certainly under pressure in certain exercises/stances. Don't do what most people do and tense up, depriving your body of oxygen and incurring even more post training pain.
