Tight muscles for too long.... - 03/17/08 01:45 AM
I went to my first class after a two year period of no practice. Granted I never worked out really at all.
After attending a class last tuesday, it was just as intense as I expected. I different stretch as much as I would have liked to before hand. Actually I didn't get any stretching in at all, but we all warmed up very good and I took it easy on throwing any kick. A real small amount of stretching was done during class. But, a lot of ab work and different excercises that were mainly push ups and anything that can be done in push up position.
Since then my triceps and the front of my shoulders have been tight. My shoulders aren't so much anymore, but my triceps are still a little tight when I bring my arm up and my hand towards my face for instance.
Did I over work them? I'm stretching them now gradually, but could muscle being tight for almost a week be a bad thing?
