Tip of the Day:
As a general rule of thumb give yourself about 48 hours between high intensity workouts of the same muscle groups. For example, if you do heavy squats or lower body plyometrics on Monday wait until at least Wednesday to do them again. With that said, it is still a good idea to do some lighter activities in between. Even if your legs are still really sore, stretching and light walking, biking, or jogging will help with your recovery. By avoiding activity altogether, your muscles may actually remain stiff and sore for a longer period of time. However, muscle soreness lasting longer than four days is not normal and you may be dealing with a more significant injury.
