HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is good to stay in shape. Exercise would help maintain good general and cardiac health.

In terms of the pain you are experiencing muscle pain as a result of the intensity of the workouts.
You may need to apply ice therapy to the area involved, rest or decrease your workouts for at least a few days and consider having an adult obtain anti inflammatory pain killers for you.

This would include medication such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, aspirin.

If the pain is still present after a period of rest then you may want to visit your doctor for an evaluation.

I hope this helps
