I had no idea how happy I'd be to feel so sore after a hard exercise session. The long road to recovery from an exercise induced injury finally took a better turn on the highway of health. It's worth a quick note that my lack of proper warm up, cool down and stretching most likely led to my right shoulder being hurt so badly. During the busy spring I tried to speed through routines, so I cut out the warm up/stretch and cool down/stretch from the Tony Horton P90X2 program. As I have mentioned a time or two in this blog it took all summer and then some to eliminate the soreness.
I've been doing light resistance training in the last couple of weeks. Yesterday I completed a full upper body routine from a Horton routine. It went well with no pain during or after in my shoulder. Today, I'm experiencing standard soreness from muscle use, not to be confused with the intense pain of an aggravated injury. What a great feeling!
Warm up. Stretch. Cool down. Stretch.
