my muscle don't feel sore?

[indianguy81]

I am a beginner who has just started off with his routine (it's been 4-5 days) and currently doing only a bodyweight exercises.
I do need to lose body fat & build muscle.
I do all reps to failure and do perform multiple sets (though I am not high on reps/set as a beginner) yet I don't feel sore the next day.

The only day I felt sore was the first day of training. It has left me wondering if I am doing the right thing bcoz withour muslce soreness, I won't be able to get the results. (as is commonly believed)

I just don't feel a sense of satisfaction after my workout because of the lack of soreness.

Are sore muscles an indicater that one has performed his workout effectively?

Your muscles don't always have to hurt the next day to know you got a good workout. Are you working out every day? Take a day off in between to let your muscles rest. You should only work one muscle group per week when starting; until your muscles become accustomed to working out. What is your routine like?

Yes, everyday though I plan to have a day of rest in between. As a beginner, I am using a routine of only bodyweight exercises with 2 sets each (reps/set - mostly in the range of 10-20 vary as per the exercise type with exceptions like pull-ups (very low reps) and hindu squats (very high no. of reps)
I deliberately left out any kind of sit-ups from the routine because I am wary of their dangerous effects (as I have read) on one's backbone.

I know its a very basic sort of routine which follow every day but I intend to add more within a few days.

Push-Ups (varied forms)
pull-ups
Lying Leg Raise
Wide Push-Ups
Reverse Crunches
Flutter Kicks
Plank
Scissors
Crunches
Hindu squats
