Wasn’t the exercise meant to protect me from all this?

So, forget ‘no pain, no gain.’ the key to maximizing the benefits of exercise is a safe and sensible programme. Choose exercises that are safe and enjoyable and will stay with you a lifetime. The initial enthusiasm of high impact exercises gives way to diminishing enjoyment.
