What to Do When You Experience Pain During Exercise.
STOP!๐
Letโs dig a little deeper. Iโm not talking about the pain of the workout, lungs hurt, your body is struggling to move, etcโฆ.Iโm talking about the sharp pain you feel in your knee as you squat, the pinch you feel in your shoulder as you press something overhead, or that low back pain many experience when performing any number of movements. The pain that says stop. But YOU keep going. Pain is a signal๐ฆSometimes the signal is strong, sometimes it is light and faint. This signal is there for a purpose, so you STOP doing whatever it is you are doing before damage occurs. If we ignore that pain, it will keep getting stronger until something breaks. EGO ego is to blame here. โI donโt want to stop, I have to finish, I have to keep going, If I donโtโ finish I'm no goodโฆ.โ. WRONG Answer. In an environment where you are paying to be supervised/coached, you must tell your coach or personal trainer what is happening, this is your responsibility. The professional you are working with will not always be able to see you wince or make the pain face. Adjust When there is pain, and the coach is made aware, they can adjust the movement, or stop it completely. If you donโt do this, you get hurt or possibly worse injured. You Donโt Know Best coach and the fitness professionals are your guide, your instructor, your mentor, they are the boss when you are in the class or one on one. Listen to them, follow their instruction and guidance. If you experience pain TELL THEM RIGHT AWAY. ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐ค๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฆ
