I just starting doing sit-ups on a daily basis about two weeks ago and my abs are all sore.. How long should it take for the pain to go away?
It takes like 2-3 weeks, just so they get used to it, it took me 2 weeks, but the pain came back, but then it left. Just make sure you don't stop for a long period of time and then start again, because the pain will start again, it's like starting all over.
yea, thats exactly what it means, but if you keep working the same muscles without letting them recover, it can actually do damage... its like a cut, u have to let it heal before you notice it getting better right? but if you pick at it it gets worse
Give it another week or two..your body is out of shape and not used to the exercising. It will eventually stop being sore for so long after a while. Maybe give your body a day to relax.
the pain wont go away until you let them recover,, when i workout my abs i do 230 sit ups on a medicine ball, and do 2 other workouts for them, and it only takes 2 days max to recover
after a few weeks you should stop hurting all together..you might need a rest. like every other day or every 3 days.
So I have to take a break for a couple days? Doesn't the pain mean that the workout it starting to take effect?
A muscle needs 72 hours of rest before being trained again. That's the golden time in bodybuilding standards.
