I'm about 80 lbs overweight. Most of it is in my stomach area (I have a large gut). I started working out about 2 weeks ago and my body is adjusting very well. I did a tough workout over the weekend and my abs are extremely sore (combination of leg lifts, situps, and constant core tension). I'm wondering if I may have caused a hernia by working out too hard. My question is, because my gut is so big and I have so much extra fat in my groin area, if I had a hernia would it still show through my fat? Also, if I have no pain outside of my soreness, and there is no visible protrusion, should I assume I am ok?
