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.

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.
