Answers:
First and foremost, you should be starting out with light exercises and gradually building up there. If you are experiencing pain, you aren't in good shape and trying to do too much at this time
Start out with light workouts. Gradually build up( from there. For example, A person who lifts weights doesn't lift 100 pounds the first day. He or she would be in a lot of pain after that. Instead, they gradually work up to that point starting out with light weight and work up from there. You should be doing the same with whatever type of exercises you are trying to do.
The rule of thumb is to work out every other day. For example: I was a long distance runner on the track and field team in High School. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we went out and ran about five miles. On Tuesday we worked out in the weight room and on Thursday we ran sprints.( both light workouts). this gives you time in between the workouts for your body to recover. I hope this helped you out.
After exercising, it's normal for muscle to get sore. But you need to give your muscle time to recover at least 24 to 48 hours. You MAY cause injury to your muscles if you continue to exercise even when you are experiencing pain.
Muscles like ropes are made of many fibers or strands. If some of the individual fibers that work in combination to make the muscle strong are not relaxing they bulk up in the middle and are stretched thin on the ends which results in the appearance of "knots" they are the tender spots. The muscles that effect headaches can come from as far away as the lower back and include shoulders, arms, neck and head causing a cascade effect. So a massage (professional if possible) will help.
Specific to the leg - run your hand lengthwise down the section of leg that hurts. You will find tender spots these are the knots described above. Apply pressure to this area in a similar motion just over the length of the knot - it will take many sessions of doing this once or twice per session to get the muscle to relax.
Specific to the head - at the base of the skull where it connects to the spine there is a ridge in an upsidedown V like shape - press in and up to the count of three, three times to help relax the muscles there. All through the hair scratch lightly the head you will find tender spots those are knots (rub the rest of the head) the idea is to go over them semi frequently until they are gone.
General - Muscles need magnisium (regulates many things) and potassium - both can be found in bananas or molasses (a swig or two)
Hydrate with any nonsugar (even the substitutes) liquids - quantity = your body weight divided by 2 times ounces daily. The head of neurology (10 years ago) at UCDavis told my husband that running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil - there will be problems.
Reference - The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies teaches about muscles and how to help them yourself.
