Cathe -
I have Cardio Kicks and the Cross Train Series and have been doing them since January. I'd say I do a full kickbox workout (Cardio Kicks or CTX-Kickbox) about twice a month. The day following one of these tapes I always feel a lot of soreness in my lats. A tough back workout doesn't make me as sore as these workouts do. If I do another tape like 10-10-10 or Circuit Max that only has a little kickbox in it, I'm fine the next day. My guess is that it's the arm drills - especially hooks and upper cuts that cause my soreness.
I've been reading the thread on good sores vs. bad sores and I don't believe this is a bad sore. My muscles feel fine 2 days later - it's just getting through the day after when my muscles feel so sore. I've even tried doing extra stretching after the workout but I still feel sore.
Is this common? Am I punching too hard? When you say to give 100% I really do! Should I skip the arm drills or will my muscles eventually get used to this activity if I do it on a more regular basis?
I don't want to give up my kickboxing workouts. Please help.
