Q: Is it normal to feel sore after a workout?
A: Yes, it’s normal to feel sore after a workout, a phenomenon known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). It usually occurs 24-48 hours post-exercise and is a result of microscopic damage to muscle fibers during intense physical activity.
Q: Why should I check with my physician before training?

They can identify any underlying medical conditions, assess potential risks, and provide personalized advice to help you exercise safely based on your individual health status.
Q: How many times a week should I exercise?
A: The frequency of exercise depends on your fitness goals and current physical condition. Generally, adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week. However, it’s crucial to tailor your exercise routine to your specific needs and consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
