Episode Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why your muscles feel sore after a tough workout? It's all about the science behind exercise-induced muscle pain. When you push your muscles hard, especially with new or intense activities, they experience microscopic damage. This damage triggers an inflammatory response in your body, where special cells rush to the damaged area to repair it. So, that post-workout ache you feel is actually a sign that your muscles are repairing and getting stronger. Understanding this process can help you appreciate the benefits of exercise and plan for effective recovery.

Lets talk about the worth it exercise and sacrifices today! For a better body and mind.
