What if “no pain, no gain” is one exercise rule you’re better off breaking?

In Episode 1 of Five Exercise Rules You’re Allowed to Break After 50, Lauren Eirk explains the important difference between muscular effort and pain, and why pain shouldn't be treated as proof that your workout is working.

Discover several reasons an exercise may hurt, how load, joint position, muscle weakness, compensation, and preparation can affect what you feel, and why the right starting point can ultimately help you become stronger.

As we get older, the goal isn't to stop challenging yourself. It's to challenge your body in a way it can actually adapt to.
