Working out through the pain

I have been doing the ten minute fat burning aerobic workout for a couple of weeks and have been able to do five minutes of the workout before having to stop.  So, last Thursday I decided to push myself a little to see if I could do the workout longer.  Yes, I can and did, unfortunately, it resulted in muscles protesting the next few days.

So, since then,  I have been doing only my toning with a walk to town twice.  The old saying “no pain, no gain” certainly applies to me.  Some times the pain is so bad that I can’t work through it but I do toning.  I hope that one day I will no longer hurt when I workout, heck, I hope to no longer hurt at all.

Between the diabetic nerve pain, fibromyalgia and arthritis, there are days that getting out of bed is a struggle.  I have been told (many times) that eventually the exercise will help the happy endorphins work better and make me feel like I haven’t any pain at all. I look forward to that day.
