I had an hour long deep tissue massage last evening. It felt great and I slept really well last night. I woke up pretty sore this morning but decided to workout anyway b/c I will be traveling in a car for about 9 hours today and wanted to get what movement I could.
I had a really hard time getting through the workout and now I feel even more sore and a bit nauseous. Is this normal? Did I hurt myself by working out the day after the massage?
Also, did I undo the positive effects of the massage?

yes
What do you think? Answer below!
it;s fine just drink lots of water today to help flush the toxins. When you get a deep tissue massage it releases all the toxin build-up in your muscles and you need to flush them a way. Working out acutally will help to flush those toxins also. Lots of water today, light healthy meals…nothing heavy…make sure you pee a lot.
yes not like get up and go run but yeah
actually its very good to work out even when your sore because that builds up a type of immunity to being sore and your muscles will figure *hey it looks like i gotta do more* so they get used to that sore feeling more quicker and after about a week or so you will hardly even feel sore after a work out.
yeah
