A member asked:
I've been exercising for a month now & i'm starting to feel heaviness in my thighs .. why is that ? & what should i do ?

Keep going: It is normal to feel soreness in your legs. If your exercising every day, back off for a couple of days and let your body recover. If you are only exercising 4 days a week or less i would push through it, it should resolve.
