If something free, often fun, and completely customisable to your preferences has such an amazing effect, why aren't we all doing it? Well, a few reasons ― one of which being that it hurts to really push yourself.

The article from MSN discusses the nuances of pain during exercise, emphasizing the difference between beneficial discomfort and harmful pain. It explains that while exercise often involves some level of discomfort, which can be a sign of muscles working and growing, there's a threshold where pain signals potential injury. The piece outlines that "good pain" might feel like muscle burn or fatigue, which is normal and part of the muscle-building process. However, "bad pain" includes sharp, stabbing, or shooting sensations, or any pain that persists after exercise, which could indicate issues like muscle strains, joint problems, or other injuries. The article advises listening to your body, understanding the difference between these types of pain, and knowing when to push through or when to stop and seek medical advice. It also suggests gradually increasing workout intensity, proper warm-up and cool-down routines, and maintaining good form to minimize the risk of injury.
