DOMS - A Painful "limited movement" Tuesday

I barely survived Tuesday! As predicted, woke up with aches all over. Struggled thru the day.......

But interestingly, the Sgt must have read my mind as I received an email instruction from him for tomorrow and he included the advice:

"Some of you may be a little sore from the exercises that you did yesterday, be aware…. This is completely normal and a great start to the month! What you are experiencing is DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness), in short, it's your muscles repairing themselves from microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. It's not a bad thing, and should only last 2-3 days at the most. The best way to lessen the ache is to get moving (It's always worse first thing in the morning because you have been lying still all night), Go for a jog, go to a cycle class or go for a brisk walk. Do not miss Wednesday’s session because you are sore. The session will help that feeling to go away a lot faster."

Looks like there is a Scientific term to my suffering today - DOMS! Hope i don't keep getting DOMS!....

And as ordered by Sgt S - DO NOT MISS Wednesday's SESSION! I guess I will be there tomorrow......BRING IT ON!
