Am I just going to be sore the rest of my life?

As someone who had never regularly worked out, and now I am slowly make a muscle building routine; will I just always be in pain?

I’ve enjoyed my weight loss journey spin cycling indoors and walks and maybe a few jogs here and there. Recently I’ve been starting a glute and leg exercise because I want more stability and strength from my hips down.

I work out and next day pain and the 48 hour mark is even worse so stiff. I did hot baths and gentle stretching and walking and still so sore. I did not feel overworked doing these exercises.

Is this how the cycle goes work out -> pain -> healing -> workout -> pain again ?

It never just calms down. That’s how inactive I was I didn’t even realize being sore is not a 1-2 day things it’s more like 3-4 and then comes back every session
