My boyfriend and I started going to the gym every Monday Wednesday and Friday. While at the gym I did crunches and my muscles for that area are sore to hell.
It's now Wednesday (and they're even more sore than yesterday) and my boyfriend is worried about me hurting myself if we go to the gym today.
I said I just won't do those kinds of exercises and he said most of the things I want to do, like running, will trigger that mucle group and maybe we should just skip today, but I really don't want to. Will it really be an issue for me if I go?
Certain muscle groups can feel much more sore two days after the exercise rather than one day. It's a well studied part of recovery.
Generally you don't exercise muscles when they are sore or specifically you would look to do different movements/exercises and you would be careful in warming up beforehand.
Don't just grind out the se exercises every two days if you are in pain. Learn the difference between soreness, inflammation, and genuine pain.
Your journey in the gym will take months and years so don't jump into injury through overuse too quickly.
Maybe try some alternative exercises today amd on the thrid or further day hit the same group again...over time your body will safely adjust.
Stay safe.
