Pain is good for you?

What do I mean by that?

Without pain, nothing would stop us from hurting ourselves. It is the body's way of letting us know that something is wrong. What can you do about pain?

Learn to listen to it. The pain is there for a reason. The tough part can be figuring out what should be done to deal with it.

There are many different types of pain. I tell my clients to pay attention to what thoughts run thought their minds if pain occurs. The kind of pain from being uncomfortable is a good pain. Champions learn to ignore this type of pain. You think things like; (That was uncomfortable, that's enough of that today, I better stop soon) This type of pain shouldn't cause any damage.

Bad pain will cause thoughts like; (I shouldn't do that, I better not do that again, etc.) Bad pain can cause permanent damage. This is a warning; your brain is telling you that whatever is causing this pain should always be listened to. Ignoring this pain will usually lead to injury.

Training should lead to good (Uncomfortable), not bad (Ouch, don't do that again) pain. What kind of pain do you feel during or after your workouts?
