water retention and sore muscles

[great2bfit]

Hi, I was just wondering if I am really sore in my legs and waist etc. from exercise can you retain fluid? I put on my jeans today and they would quite snug and the only thing I could think of was that. Any input would be appreciated. Lori

Yes you can. There are a couple of different theories as to why (which of course, I don't recall), but you can definitely retain water when you are sore.

I also think it has something to do with you muscles still being a bit "pumped" from working so hard.
