Start small and do one thing right and stick to it. Look at a YouTube video explaining you how to do that one exercise correctly. If you feel pain, you do it wrong.
That's it, that's the whole magic.
Start with something light, like 5 pushups, every other day and keep doing so. Soon you wan to do 5 pushups and 5 deadlifts and 5 crunches. Then you start to quadruple the amount and at some point your workout becomes too long, so you split it up. That's it, you're in.
All these fitness apps are total overkill. You start the workout and then boom "do these 20 things in 40 reps". Nah, that's how people get frustrated and stop.
Also sore muscles will go away at some point. I only ever get sore muscles when I work out something new or had a long break.
