Hi Everyone,

I have been taking a peak here and reading. I am by far where all of you are physically but
have been working out for about 2 months.
My son has been my trainer. He plays football and power lifts.
I do have a question do you ever get to a point you don't have any aches or pains after a workout?
I do cardio for 20 minutes. A random workout on the treadmill alternating speeds. Followed by
weight training focusing on a muscle group.

Any tips?

Erin

 there's a saying along the lines of "it doesn't get any easier, you just get faster/stronger"  :)  Its been 18 months or so for me, and I still am one aching hurting dude a day or two after every hard workout.

What Andrew said. Sometimes when I'm working out, I remember the saying "No pain, no gain". I think if it ever gets too easy, then you aren't working out hard enough.

Congrats on your success so far, and kudoos to your son for helping you.
Welcome.

if you are working hard and improving, you are going to have some aches and pains.  i've found that i can expect some level day-to-day, but it is always worse when you do something new or if you've had an extended time off from a particular activity.  welcome!
Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.
