Probably a bit out of shape, huh? Lactic acid is building up in your muscles due to lack of oxygen. That is what causes the pain.
As you build up your strength for pedaling (and it will take some
time), this pain will lessen over time.

As has been suggested already, get a rapid verify-up with your well being practitioner & basically be certain there is not any longer some injury which you haven't any longer regularly happening approximately earlier. in the event that they provide you the ok, do your heat ups, try driving slowly for the 1st 5 minutes or so, constructive elementary %., attempt to stay faraway from any steep hills, provide your physique a gamble to heat into it. How's your nutrition plan?

probably overuse and the repetitive motion of pedaling. That will cause micro tears in your muscles that can become very painful. Take an anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen, or a pain reliever, such as Tylenol. Let the tears heal before you go major cycling again (about a day or two)

Probably because your muscles have to get used to the exercise. Don't overdo it in the beginning, just take a little ride and increase it on day to day basis.

You need to start out slow and work up to a longer or faster ride.

try drinking more water. You muscles might have just tightened up like a charlie horse or something. Lots and lots of water!!!
