Have you ever experienced pain while exercising? I think it’s a common occurence. I asked the AI generated Google search “At what level of pain should one stop exercising. Here’s how the Google AI responded:
When exercising, you can use a pain scale of 0-10 to determine if you should modify your exercise. Pain between 0-3 is okay, and you can increase the load. Pain between 3-5 is okay, but you should keep the load the same. Pain between 5-10 is a sign that you should modify your exercise. It’s also important that your pain settles back to baseline levels within 24 hours.
Pain can come on quickly while exercising or shortly after. Soreness, however, should last anywhere from one to three days. If your soreness turns into pain or pushes you past your comfort level, it is time to scale back. Pushing through sharp, acute pain could be causing more damage than good. To prevent injuries, you should always warm up with stretches or low-intensity exercises before physical activity.
