[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 57 y o woman. For 10 months this is my regimen each week: 
[b]-1 hour of weight lifting 2X a week (5 reps of 3, 80lbs of weight all major muscle groups  with 5 minute breaks every 20 minutes), 
-2 days of 50 minute moderate to high-intensity pilates workout, 
-and 3 days of 1.25 hours of Vinyasa Yoga level 2.

I had a high-intensity vinyasa level 2 yoga class (pouring with sweat in a 65ºF room) yesterday and I'm not sore! I used to always be up until the 8 month mark when I kick my regimen up a notch wi3 days of yoga instead of 2. Why aren't I sore today??? Am I not challenging myself enough in the workout?[/quote]

Wait...you were sore after 8 months of working out and just now finally are not sore? That does not sound normal.

I used to do fitness competitions and would do 2 a days. Heavy heavy lifting (think clean and jerks, split jerks, RDLs, deadlifts, snatch)  and lots of cardio.  It was rare that I would get sore.  The only time that I get sore is when I've taken a significant break from working out and then lift hard. I actually get pretty excited when I get sore because it rarely happens.[/quote]
