Fitness Thoughts:

Got Pain?

The phrase “No pain, no gain” is thrown around quite a bit.

We want everyone to realize that exercise should be difficult and can be uncomfortable. 

However, real PAIN is always something to be concerned about.

Here’s a simple rule of thumb:
-      if you still hurt 72 hours after exercise, you probably tried to lift too much, too soon or with poor technique.

Any combination of these exercise mistakes can lead to more damage than good to muscle and connective tissue.

Make sure to note and record intensity of the work loads and progress slowly but regularly.

You can work too hard, but there is little excuse for not working hard enough.
