My Muscles Are Too Tight, I Need Help If you have been exercising for the past few weeks, but you feel as though your muscles are too tight, it may be time to ask for help. Some muscle tightness is normal, especially after your first few sessions. Your body is getting used to exercising and lifting weights. But if you are still feeling that tightness and tension in your muscles a few weeks into your workout routine, you may need to focus more on flexibility.
Why is Flexibility Important? Being flexible is not just about doing unusual poses or touching your toes. Flexibility is about all the muscles in your body feeling looser. When your muscles are loose, you are far less likely to get hurt. And you will not experience as much soreness and tightness when you are getting up in the morning or going up the stairs at night.
