You have DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). It just means you aren't used to working out. For most people, it starts two days after a workout, gradually becomes the day after a workout, and when you are working out every day, it eventually, virtually disappears.
When I was working as a trainer, I was never sore. If I felt sore the day after a workout, I was really happy that I was able to feel the effects, or I just blamed the day before the workout being too easy.
What you feel is normal. Keep at it.
