Compound exercises should form the base of your strength routine. Some fitness routines have exercises that hit specific muscle groups, knocking out sets of biceps curls, lateral raises and seated leg extensions in hopes of reaping maximum benefits. But while this approach may help you get stronger, it’s not a fast-track to your goals.

Why am I Stiff and Sore When I Wake Up? | Wellness | MyFitnessPal

Pushing and pulling heavy weights, going for a long run, or performing high-intensity intervals tests your muscles and stresses your joints, so experiencing a little stiffness the next day or two is normal. Stop moving for long stretches of time — say, during the roughly 7–9 hours you’re asleep — and that immobility can lead to pain, inflammation and stiffness in the morning. #MyFitnessPal
