No one knows your body like you do, so it is up to you to know whether your aches fall under the term "good pain" --the result of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). DOMS usually occurs 24 to 48 hours after exercise and is best remedied with active recovery training, not passive rest.
If you are feeling sore after a workout, perform a few lightweight, high-rep resistance exercises a day or two after the initial training session. This will enable sufficient blood supply and nutrients to those muscles for better muscle recovery.
However, "bad pain" will usually feel much worse. Injuries such as sprains, strains, and tears are not uncommon when training and can be prevented by using proper technique and form. If pain of this type is ever encountered, immediately stop training and seek medical attention.
