Are you pushing yourself too hard or not hard enough? This is a common concern to many people who are trying to be consistent in working out and getting in better shape.

Knowing the difference between the pain of progress and pain that might indicate injury is key to long-term health and fitness.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Matt Dancigers, the founder of Nalu Physical Therapy, to discuss the nuances of pain in physical training.

Dr. Matt, with nine years of experience in physical therapy, operating out of Wareing’s Gym, brings a wealth of knowledge on treating chronic pain, sports injuries, and the importance of consistent training.

Regular exercise is not just about physical fitness but also about reinforcing your body’s belief in its capabilities, which in turn helps prevent injuries.

Recovery is equally vital. It's the "chips and salsa" to the "main course" of exercise. Proper rest, nutrition, and potentially additional therapies like massage or physical therapy can optimize performance and prevent injuries.

Tune in to learn more about how to train smart, stay injury-free, and enjoy a more active, fulfilling life.
