Good Luck and stick with it- in 2 weeks you should start feeling more energetic  and less sore. If your soreness lasts more than 48 hours- tell the trainer to back it down. Some trainers are into "killing it" but I find clients tend to stop exercising when pushed too far too fast. That mentality of "No pain No gain" is so 80's. A little soreness is to be expected too much is not a great thing[quote-end-tag-mismatch]
@Jpgurl: Exactly what
@Jpgurl said - I often see trainers (most of them younger) push people hard right from the start. Not smart in my opinion. You have to see what the person working out for the first time in a long time can reasonably do, and then build from there. You should be sore but not for more than 48 hours, and nothing that an advil can't mostly resolve. You should not have much joint pain. No pain no gain is BS. Being fit is more a lifestyle than a one month fad, so trainers that push too hard from day one are likely more of a problem than a solution. Easy for me to say as motivation is not an issue; I started working out on my own when I was 13.Â
