You finally started working out. And now you feel exhausted, sore, and maybe a little worse than before you began.
Here's what no one tells beginners: this is completely normal — and it has nothing to do with whether exercise is "right for you."
In this episode, Chris Cooper breaks down the real science behind why your body feels worse before it feels better. You'll learn what's actually happening inside your body in the first few weeks of training, why the exhaustion and soreness are signs of adaptation (not damage), and exactly how long this phase typically lasts.
Plus: three specific things you can do right now to get through the rough patch faster — without quitting.
If you've ever started a fitness routine, felt terrible, and used that as a reason to stop — this episode is for you.
Episode topics: exercise adaptation, DOMS, why beginners feel worse, fitness for beginners, how long soreness lasts, beginner workout recovery
