During the exercise the muscles build up a by product called lactic acid. This crystalises in the muscle and causes the ache. That's why a hot bath helps as it helps the acid dissolve and ease the ache.

When you exercise, your muscles are using up oxygen, which the cells use to make glucose (which the body uses for energy) much faster than usual. That's why you start breathing harder. However, with all the fast breathing, if the exercise continues, your muscles eventually start using up more oxygen that you can breathe in.
The muscle cells which are not being provided with enough oxygen to produce the amount of energy they need temporarily switch to what's called Anaerobic (which means "without Oxygen") respiration. They use processes which do not require oxygen in order to make glucose. The problem is, these processes produce something called Lactic Acid. As you continue to exercise, the amount of lactic acid builds up. This acid buildup is what causes your muscles to hurt.
After a few days the pain will go away because when you start breathing properly the oxygen you are inhaling will break down the lactic acid and bring your body back to normal.
Despite all of this, exercise is good. Stick with it and eventually your body will get accustomed. Your oxygen intake will increase and your will get less lactic acid build-up because your body will begin to respire (produce energy) more efficiently.

when doing aerobic excercise your muscles shouldnt ache. anaerobic excercise is different. anaerobic excerise is excersise that is too fast for you body to get the oxygen it needs travelling around your bloodstream. when your muscles are deprived of this their regular amount of oxygen Lactic Acid is released causing the muscles to ache. gentle "warmin up" excercise should be done before activity and "warming down" excercises after. This should help avoid your muscles aching.

Two reasons: (1) When you do any type of workout, your muscles produce lactic acid. Your muscles get irritated by it and it takes a while for your body to get rid of it. To help get rid of it faster, stretch post-workout and drink more water. (2) When too much stress is applied to muscles -- particularly when doing weight/strength training -- the muscles develop microscopic tears in the fibers. When the fibers get torn it irritates the nerve endings in the tissue until your body repairs the tears, which can take one or two days.

When you have not stretched proeprly, the muscles tend to ache, also if you are putting more effort than your body is used to, for proper exercise routine, read this article in the site www.fitnesshigh.com

the people above give a good explanation.
but to avoid aching, i would definitely suggest warming up/ warming down each time you exercise. aslo, STRETCH. you must stretch out before and after you exercise. give those muscles a nice stretch. they need it!!! trust me, this works wonders. most people dont stretch before exercise just out of pure laziness.
anytime im in shape and exercise, i never feel aches or pain despite an intense workout because i am extremely flexible.

Lactic Acid build-up in the muscles.

once you initiate an workouts application, you many take it sluggish on the start and advance as you circulate alongside. in the journey that your muscular tissues are sore, it incredibly is okay to omit an afternoon. attempt doing them each and every 2d day. in case you already lost 21/2 inches then you definitely could desire to have been doing all your workouts for a on a similar time as now, do no longer push your self too a lot, extra is not extra helpful, do no longer injury your self.

Your body produces/uses lactose (sugar) for energy during activity. If you don't have enough sugar for energy, your body starts producing the closest thing, lactic acid. But after stopping activity, your muscles don't like that acid sitting around so they reject it (become sore).
As your activity goes up, your body starts to store more lactose so that your muscles don't become sore.
