You are exercising more than your body capacity. Take proper diet atleast 5 meals in a day with good quality protein and complex carbohydrates. Drink energy drink to boost your cell energy.

Hello.. If you are a begginer mild pain will be there . tussues require oxygen for metabolism .. When muscle is working its oxygen requirement increases , decreased oxygen supply leads to acidosis .. That causes muscle pain. As you continue to practice pain will subside..just don't overstress yourself ,know your limitation and gradually increases workload
