405. Should an EFFECTIVE Workout Make You Sore?

What’s the true indication of an effective workout? Is it sweat? Breathlessness? Soreness? How can you know if you’re truly doing enough? Listener Tessa wondered this same thing: “If I don’t feel sore after a workout, was it still effective? Should I have worked out harder?” In this quick episode, we’ll talk about muscle soreness - why it happens and what it actually going on in your muscles. And we’ll discuss different kinds of workouts that might not tax your muscles the same way, but are just as important to your overall health! 💥Taking listener questions!!!
