Pain could indicate: That you are biting off more than your body would like you to. Soreness and mild discomfort after new exercises are normal, but if exercises are causing you tru pain, it would indicate that you are putting too much stress on the body parts that are getting your attention. Often times, lower impact activities are required first to gently build strength before the impact can be increased.

No, qualified: When you are deconditioned it is wise to do short frequent exercises that are not too taxing and work towards longer sessions. If you are getting pain you could be tearing tendons or muscles. Heat, magnesium oil, and gentle stretching might help. Be sure to stay well hydrated. Dehydration can increase muscle pain.
