Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Loosen Your Tight & Achy Muscles Without Stretching: https://www.matschaumburg.com

Your body is constantly talking to you when you workout, and how you interpret what it is saying will have a big impact on the results you get from your workouts.

Oftentimes, when somebody's body tells them they don't like a specific exercise through aches or pains, that can be justification to not do the exercise, but this can be a huge mistake!

Avoiding an exercise entirely because of an ache or pain can be a surefire way to limit your strength and mobility, so how do you make sure you are respecting what your body is saying while still helping it get stronger and more mobile?

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing a framework that we teach our clients to help determine whether what they are feeling means we need to stop an exercise or whether we can keep going forward.

This "red flags" framework will help you navigate all the signals your body sends you when you workout to decide whether you are going in the right direction or you need to change course so you don't get injured.

If you have ever felt frustrated because it seems like every exercise you do hurts so you just avoid them altogether, listen up!

This conversation can change how you use that "hurting" information during your workouts to make better decisions for your body so you can keep getting stronger without injury.

Check out all the details in this week's episode!
