PAIN AND LACTIC ACID DURING WORKOUTS

Pain is defined as a feeling triggered in the nervous system which may be sharp or dull, that you may feel in one area of your body, such as your back, abdomen, or chest. Pain is also helpful in diagnosing a problem because without pain you could serious hurt yourself without realizing it. Pain can go on for weeks, months or even years which is called chronic pain that is from an ongoing cause like arthritis(MedlinePlus https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/pain.html). Pain may be felt in a localized area such as the quadriceps,hamstrings, glutes, and low back from a strenuous leg series of exercise. This pain is usually from sore, achy muscles, that have been challenged by the event and that build up of lactic acid in that muscle group. We all have a certain tolerance of pain and lactic acid definitely causes the burning sensation that you feel in your muscles. Lactic acid is produced in the muscles when the body breaks down carbohydrates to use for energy during times of low oxygen levels (MedlinePlus https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus). Examples of anaerobic activities include weightlifting, sprinting, and plyometric exercise. On the aerobic side, cycling, running, and swimming will produce a large amount of lactic acid depending on duration and pace of the event.

A great way to replenish the muscle tissue after it is challenged during these events is the post workout recovery as well as rehydrate from the performance elite product line through Advocare. After all of the strenuous activity, post-workout recovery, and rehydrate supplies essential components for muscle repair to optimize muscle recovery, helps maintain and restore energy supplies during and after physical activity,and contains branched-chain amino acids to support muscle recovery, growth, and endurance.
