Your body isn't a machine that wears out; it’s a living system that adapts. If a movement hurts, it’s rarely because the exercise is "wrong" it’s because you haven’t built the capacity for it yet. We train for resilience, not avoidance.
Pain isn’t a signal to run away and hide, it’s a sign to back off slightly, and gradually expose, as long as the movement you perform is meaningful to you.
