Don't go taking pain killers because you have sore muscles from boxing. It's only my opinion, but you want to stay as far away from putting needless chemicals in your body as you can.

You'll find your muscles and body in general, will feel much better once you warm up.

Too be honest i would train again at the end of the week or next week, if my body was too sore. Its your first class allow your body to recover.

Just man up

I feeling much better. I want my body to get used to it as fast as possible.

Thanks for the advice. I've done some stretching at school and I'm feeling much better.

I'll do the ice bath when I get home. I do own a jacuzzi, should I go in instead of taking an ice bath?

Don't take Tylenol.

Stretching is great. And regarding jacuzzi vs. ice bath-- if you can manage the extreme cold of the ice bath, take that. Jacuzzi before you go to bed.

Don't worry too much about soreness, unless we're talking extremes here, which we're not.

I'm getting the inclination a sport where someone is going to try to flatten your nose against your face repeatedly might not be for you. Just give the gym your membership dues so they can buy gloves and equipment for the people who don't worry about being sore.

Doesn't tylenol hurt muscle recovery?

You didn't get the joke...... I meant I can't man up because I'm a girl. It was supposed to be a joke. geezz....

I did a lot of stretching and it helped a lot for tonight's class. I'm guessing it must take at least two weeks for the body to get used to this?

It takes a few sessions. It's a foreign stimulus, so your body will take time learning how to adapt to it. In the meantime, soreness. Being sore doesn't necessarily mean you can't/shouldn't train again.

Basically, just keep at it.

The worst thing you could do after a tough training session is go full Sunday afternoon. Stay active, do stretches here 'n there throughout the day, do a little bit of cardio. It helps to get some new blood into the inflamed areas.

Agreed.

Plus, your body should adapt to the training in a couple of weeks so you'll soon feel much better. This isn't specific to boxing but goes for any rigorous physical activity you aren't used to. Just give it some time.

Sorry for missing the gender joke, but my statement still stands. This is a tough, tough sport. I've been in it for 14 years. What slays me is you're willing to take an ice bath but are worried about being sore...

Take an extra day off if you're super sore. You'll learn to interpret what you're body is telling you; what is just "whining", and what is an actual warning that you're about to be injured. Expect to be sore a lot.

This is sound advice for your specific situation.

Seriously though, DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is an initial phase for any training. Just push through it and start slow.

Foam rollers do help, and ibuprofen is probably the greatest supplement of all time. (Just kidding, but it works)

I typically only use that shit if I'm actually injured though. DOMS is beautiful thing that should be cherished.
