MYTH: You have to feel pain to make progress. 💪FACT: Pain and progress aren’t the same thing.
Not all discomfort is bad — but sharp, sudden, or lingering pain is your body waving a flag, not a sign to push harder.

Here’s what’s actually normal:
✅ Mild muscle soreness 24–48 hours after a workout (DOMS)
✅ A feeling of fatigue or “burn” during exercise
✅ Temporary stiffness that improves as you move

And what’s worth paying attention to:
🚩 Sharp or sudden pain
🚩 Pain that worsens the longer you go
🚩 Joint pain or pain that changes how you move
🚩 Discomfort that sticks around for more than a few days

Progress is built through consistency — not by chasing the ache. Learn to work with your body, and you’ll stay in the game longer. 🔗 Full blog in bio.
