...you are aching? Might sound like a silly question, but do read on.
As a relatively unfit person who has just really started getting into MA, Im finding kickboxing to be quite a challenging workout. Not so much whilst Im there, but the aftermath for 4-5 days where I am aching all over (namely the wrists/forearms from holding up pads to get punched hard). Im wondering how many of you feel this after a hard training session and work through it? Im not injured in anyway, and I know that if I was injured that I should take a break and wait until recovery but these aches are part and parcel of working myself more than I have been used to (which was little to no workout/exercise at all ). Is it fine to work through these aches? I feel fine at the moment to go tonight and give it my all.. but I dont want to if afterwards is going to leave me even worse, and it will continue like that.
All Im thinking is, if I am going 2 or 3 times a week, I dont want these aches to be cumulative and start giving me serious problems. If thats the case, Im going to have to go once a week. Is it something I will get used to in time, something thats just natural with these sorts of hard contact martial arts that I shouldnt worry about? Just for the record, I am a young, lean, limber person who simply up until recently, hasnt done himself any favours in trying to keep fit, both from an exercise and nutritional POV.
