Is my exercise effective if im NOT sore from it?

Posted on May 11, 2011 by admin

I worked out for a half hour last night.
20 min on a treadmill – speed walking on an incline
10 min on a stair-stepper – working glutes & thighs at a pretty good resistance

I could DEF. feel the burn! That stair-stepper about kicked my butt so I was sure id be sore today. Its the first time ive worked out in a few months too but im just not sore.
Do I need to work out longer / harder next time or is it still being effective?

IMO, with cardio it’s all about burning the calories. You don’t need to feel sore.

It’s with weights that you want to feel sore….. because when you’re not sore any more, your body has adapted to your routine.

    you do not have to be sore for exercise to be effective…No pain, no Gain is a myth
