The ache you feel after a workout is called Lactic Acid. Basically, you have just torn your muscle fibers up and they are entering the repairing stage. Feeling this ache is very normal because that means you performed a strong, effective workout. Now eat right and let the muscles repair and get bigger. Later, while you are relaxing, the pain will encourage you to rub and manipulate the muscle...which is exactly what they need. Massage moves the lactic acid out and encourages blood flow (and feels painfully good), all of which will help sooth your growing and healing muscles.

∙ 16y agoMuscles hurt after a workout because of tiny tears in the muscle that occur during extrenuous exercise. I'm sure this is where the saying no pain no gain stems from since muscles being sore after a workout is an indication of performing a good workout. The pain will subside within a few days and it is perfectly normal. It is important however to give your muslces a period of rest after working out to give them time to recover since it is in this recovery stage that your muscles actually get stronger and more developed.
