Hi everyone, I'm new to working out. I've mostly been walking and rowing. On Monday I incorporated body weight strength training, which included squats and lunges. Today is now Wednesday and I'm feeling the pain in my legs. How do I recover from this? Should I stick to my routine or take it easy today? I do warm up/warm down, stretch and eat protein heavy foods btw. I also really want to keep going as it helps my mental health. TIA.

Everywhere else is just sleight pain that's kind of enjoyable haha. My legs though are another story. Sitting down on the toilet is next level. I do want to keep going I love the routine and the mental wellness it brings me. I did start easy with walking and rowing, increasing the time as I went. With the body weight exercises I made it to half the sets and plan to build up as I go.

Haha I know exactly what you mean. My junior year of college I was getting into lifting weights with my roommate and our shared toilet had a handicap handrail and we utilized that thing to help us sit down lmao. But ultimately it's up to you. I kept going and didn't die.
