Muscle Recovery @ this stage an issue?

I'll be 7 weeks out on this coming Tuesday. Yay! Anyway, I have started back into my old routines.. very slowly too. I remember how bad leg soreness can be once you start real workouts again if you have not done it for a while but this seems crazy. My hamstrings ache so bad!! I did do a lot of leg stuff so its not a total shock. Maybe I'm just being a whimp. Just wondering if the lower calories made it more difficult with recovery. I'm pretty sure I am getting in enough protein 80 - 100grams. Did you guys have more trouble than usual with soreness when you started lifting after surgery?

I do not think you are a wimp, I think you are a workout psyco I was getting sore at the start and it got worse and worse to the point I could not sleep. I was pushing too hard, I backed it down to what was recommended to me and now the sore is gone after a day if I do not miss a workout, longer if I do.

Thanks guys.. Ya it took 4 days for me to recovery fully from 2 workouts. I did go with less reps and lower weights but we did a lot of leg work. Probably just too much. Next workout I will go slower. I have a caniser of glutamine sitting in my pantry that Dana takes. I might just try to go slower first but if that doesnt work then I will start on the glutamine.

Stayce, way to go on the workouts!!! Just wanted you to know I still am thinking about cha! Tammy

Hey Tammy - How are things going? I was inconsistent for a while again but the last 2 days in a row have been great workouts and boy oh boy does it make a difference on weight loss. Yesterday I did full body and 20 min of cardio. Today I did 60 minutes of spin cycle class. I'm down 35 plus lbs now at just over 9 weeks. Yay!
