No: No, the burning pain you fell while exercise is not fat being burned. It is generally felt that the pain during exercise occurs when lactic acid is produced in the muscles. Muscles will switch to anaerobic metabolism at some point during hard exercise and this generates lactic acid which can cause the pain you are describing. Exercise can lead to loss in fat, but that loss is not painful.
