ELI5:After a workout why is it my body is fine the whole day then when I wake up the next morning my body is completely sore?

DOMS- delayed onset muscle soreness. (Worse for females than it is for males.) When you exercise, you create microtears in your muscles. The body then repairs these tears, hopefully/usually better and stronger if you're training correctly- and this is what leads to muscle growth/hypertrophy.
