Is Cardio A Scam? And 7 Other Not-stupid Questions About Fitness Things

Q I worked out yesterday and now it hurts to live. Whence this cruelty?

A This is called delayed-onset muscle soreness, and it sucks. It’s the result of contracting muscles over and over, which tears their fibres, says certified personal trainer Stephanie Sanzo, creator of the Build programme on the Sweat app. Since your muscles then rebuild and become stronger, this is a good thing.
