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.

What I always found best was doing something active but gentle straight after the workout session. If available, a swim is great for this, as it involves the whole body. A proper warm-down with stretches and general movement does the job too, but you need to do it in a complete way.
