Today I did 25 min on the stairmaster and 5 minutes of weight lifting and stretching. It's an exhausting week.
Miss Tick, I agree and disagree. Sometimes for sure, yes, but after watching way too many seasons of Dance Moms, I see how it often does work to push through pain.

But instead of that happening it got much worse today during my workout. My wife is annoyed because she says that normal people don't push themselves when they are hurt, they stop and rest it. I don't agree. I mean, of course if you are really hurt you rest and ice, but not for every little twinge. It usually works when I push through stuff but this time it didn't. But I don't think I'm so unusual for believing that is the way to go initially. What do others think? Is my wife right, am I alone in believing when something hurts you just work it harder?
