Tightness and pain in leg

2016-08-23 02:33:44
I have never done exercise before. But since the past 5 days, I have started going for morning walks/jogs. But after few minutes there's a tightness in my legs and a minute pain. Is it because of my shoes? Or is my body still adjusting to the exercise?

Dear friend I think it's because your muscles are still getting adjusting. Take warm bath and start with mild walk for few days than proceed to jogging slowly.
