Please advise if it's ok to lift weights after being sore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, if you have mild - moderate soreness from working out, it's ok to resume/continue your workout program. If your symptoms become severe and/or localized, then it would be wise to ease off on your workout program and consider seeing a physician, depending on the severity of the symptoms.
