Exercise General Exercise No Pain - No Gain, Wrong?
Written by NFPT Staff Writer
One thing most active people have some experience with is pain. Pain is often part of the workout or something to be expected after a tough day in the gym or the weight room. However not everything we assume we know about pain is correct.
Dr. Carmen Green, director of the University of Michigan Health System's pain research division reminds us that pain doesn't just happen.
"There's a reason pain occurs and it's often to make us stop doing something," said the doctor. He went on to explain that the old workout mantra of "no pain, no gain" is also false. You don't need to feel uncomfortable while exercising to get physically stronger, and recurring pain isn't something to ‘gut out.'
Dr. Green also says the "no pain, no gain" approach will also often keep people from ignoring significant pain, and to not seek proper treatment when they are really injured.
