At Radiant Vitality, we value a safe, inclusive, weight neutral atmosphere, where every body can experience the life changing benefits of movement.

You finish your workout feeling accomplished, but the next morning you can barely walk down the stairs. Sound familiar?

Or maybe you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum—you crushed what felt like an intense session, but you’re not sore at all, leaving you wondering if you even worked hard enough.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the science behind why our muscles get sore, debunk some persistent myths about what soreness does and doesn’t mean, and provide you with practical, evidence-based strategies for managing soreness while continuing to progress toward your fitness goals.

By the end, you’ll have the knowledge to confidently navigate post-workout recovery and make informed decisions about when to push forward and when to take a step back.

Learn why muscle soreness happens, when it's normal vs concerning, and evidence-based post workout recovery strategies to get back to training safely.

NEW BLOG POST:

Sound familiar? You used to exercise, but it felt awful. So you stopped. Now your body is reminding you (through aches, pains, and that general “blah” feeling) that maybe you need to move again. But the thought of going back to that punitive relationship with exercise? No thank you.

I get it. I’ve been there myself, and I’ve worked with countless women who’ve found themselves stuck in this exact cycle. Here’s the thing – you don’t have to go back to the way things were. There’s a better approach, and it’s called intentional movement.

Perhaps you’re familiar with the term “joyful movement.” And though it’s a great idea to engage in activities we enjoy, I prefer to focus on intentional movement over joyful movement because, let’s face it, a lot of times when we’re moving our bodies, it’s not exactly joyful in the moment. And that’s okay – it doesn’t need to be. When we expect movement to always feel joyful, we can end up feeling like we’re doing something wrong when it doesn’t.

Let me share a story about one of my clients that perfectly illustrates how intentional movement can transform your relationship with exercise.
