Let’s say that I feel a little pain after doing some exercise I don’t normally do.
Is it okay to, say, walk normally instead of limping a bit with a minor pain in a leg, or does it make the muscle’s condition worse?

    There is a difference between pain from an injury and muscle pain from excercise (DOMS). The former should be treated like a real injury where you give rest including very light exercise. Too much work could make the damage worse. The latter can be mostly ignored except for your own comfort.

    A little pain/soreness is probably fine, just don’t overdo it: Allow yourself some recovery time between training, make sure you get good nutrition, plenty of water, and plenty of rest.
