Gym rats? What should I do?

I have been going to the gym everyday now for two weeks. I am so sore and I hurt everywhere. Should I push through the pain or take a day off?

If you're lifting 4 days a week is more than enough. You can workout through soreness (DOMS) but it makes it harder for you to know if you're going to get injured.

You might do say a 40 minute low impact cardio every other day (and do nothing else) to reduce the negative side effects.

Recovery matters.
