Welcome to Free Fitness Gym
Today is workout 4 of week 1 and we hope you are enjoying the workouts so far. Now is probably the time where your body is starting to ache a little or a lot if you are new to fitness. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about. The term for this is Dom's or Delayed Onset of Muscle soreness and is common when people start a new exercise regime. As the term suggests there is a delay in when the muscles start to feel sore, this will typically happen one to two days after a hard workout. The more exercise you do the less of a problem Dom's will become. It may sound strange but try and enjoy the feeling of Dom's because it shows that the body has worked hard, and is fighting hard to repair the muscles and make them stronger. This is exactly what we want to see from exercise.
You will find that a lot of fitness enthusiasts strive for the Dom's feeling after a workout, because this tells them that they have worked hard. If you are very fit it will become increasingly hard to get the Dom's sensation which is why Nick tells his clients to enjoy the feeling when they have it.
Also after the initial excitement of starting a fitness regime has faded so too can motivation. This is where you are going to need to find that inner strength to keep going even when you can not be bothered. It is the digging deep at this point that will make all the difference over the next 6 weeks.
Work hard and let us know how you are getting on.
