So been being more cautious about my health since I’m in my late twenties and decided to try to exercise some more. Starting out with 25 pushups and 10 burpees (probably not a lot but I felt winded) and after the exercise I felt fine. Then the next day it starts to hurt like something smart. Why though? Shouldn’t the muscles be rested after that point?

The term you wanna look up for more info on this is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). No by the next day your muscles aren’t healed yet., they have pain and inflammation from the damage done by the exercise. If you’re starting to exercise more than before, make sure to warm up some, and don’t ramp up too much too soon if you want to avoid serious DOMS.
