your muscles are not used to the new stress on them give it a week or 2 and you should be able to get past the hurting stage=good luck

Very normal, and a good sign.The pain will lessen as you go, but having a moderate amount of aching afterwards is a good thing. You know the workout is doing what it's supposed to.

yes because your body is not used to exercising...you'll feel less pain the more you exercise

Yes, totally normal. I assume you are talking about muscle pain, not shin or joint pain. Basically you build muscle by tearing and repairing it. If the pain is so bad you can't function, take it a little easier. If it isn't that bad, take an advil and stick to it. It'll get better in a few weeks.

you are working too hard. No pain, no gain is a myth. Ease off on the program, start slow and build up.
