Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Donna will likely experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) from the combination of walking and jogging, as well as the uphill and downhill terrain. This is a common occurrence when starting a new exercise routine or increasing the intensity of an existing routine. It is important for Donna to gradually increase her intensity and incorporate sufficient rest and recovery time to prevent injury and manage the DOMS.
