Hell! First leg day in a month day before yesterday, my legs feel like death. Every step hurts, especially hip adductors. Feel like I'm walking like Kryten.

Oh no! If this is DOMS, hopefully tomorrow will be better, and doing more exercises tomorrow should help
-
If it makes you feel any better I once ended up in an advanced boxfit class. Instructor made me do star jumps and squats on the side while everyone practised their uppercuts and jabs and crosses etc. Absolutely mortifying. Pulled a muscle & couldn't walk properly for a week!
-
I have/had long term DOMS every week for 6 months. I only was fine over the holidays because I took a little break... so we'll see.
-
Also sorry you were treated so badly. That sounds awful and is partially (although not mostly) why I avoid any class like that.
-
Thanks! I think I misjudged the level of fitness and skill required. It put me off but I did go back to a more approachable gym afterwards!
-
I love gym — but classes? No. Don't need a forced pseudo-socialisation.
-
To be fair, I have had some really fantastic instructors in community-based gyms in Peckham, Forest Hill, Lewisham.I told them about my fitness levels and injuries and they adapted the exercises for me and others that needed it. Was really great and got me back into exercise
-
RE the enforced socialisation, I see what you mean. I was able to take it or leave it. But I loved that I could just turn up and follow some instructions and get all the stress from the week out of my system and get some endorphins to boot. I did get to meet some nice people too.

Foam roller **during** the DOMS?

You will need to crowdfund me a hottub!

I am confident that the solidarity your will find from those of us who have fought thru DOMS will get you one by Sunday (well, maybe just a small one)
