Answers:
The pain is coming from lack of blood flow from being out of shape!. Good blood flow carries oxygen to the muscles!. I had the same problem!. It took a few days of exercising for it to stop hurting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to take it easy when you have been out of exercise for a few weeks!.
You must now rest and ice the sore areas and defo not do any more walking until you are completely better!.
When you do go back to excersice make sure you take it slow to begin with and slowly and gradually increase the amount of walking you do day by day, if you dont you will put yourself at risk and out of excersise again!.
Also make sure you walm up, strech and cool down - every time you do excersice to reduce the risks of injury!.
Good luck !Www@Answer-Health@Com

i know how you feel when i start doing my squats and stomach crunches i am in agony for ages afterwards, its just that you not used to it after taking a break!. best thing to do is keep it up as your muscles will get used to it and if you stop you will just go through this again just take it a little bit easier xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com
