To find out if you have Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, ask yourself these questions:
* Have you done any kind of physical exertion in the last 3-5 days?
* Have you participated in any new activities or sports in the last week?
* Do you engage in repetitive movements, at your work or in your hobbies?
* Have you spent more time lately on any hobbies or sports?

Your muscles can get overworked, even if the activity (or movements) is not new to you. But sometimes the pain and fatigue do not "settle into" your muscles for several days.

Another way to prevent Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is by getting regular aerobic exercise. Even a brisk walk down the street on your lunch hour is great for relieving sore muscles! Just a short bout of aerobic exercise gives your muscles a boost of oxygen, which helps remove the energy by-products that are causing you to feel sore.
