Many times my clients are a little scared by the pain they experience during the workouts. I'm talking about the burning sensation that you feel in your muscles during the exercise. It is actually a very normal and beneficial thing. It's just lactic acid building up, but if you feel a sharp pain in the joints stop right away.
If all you feel is just the burn in the muscle that means you're working hard, you're spending calories and you are toning your body. Let's be realistic, we have to be out of our comfort zone when we work out in order to see results. Just don't be discouraged. Remember, the "burn" in your muscles last only few minutes a week, but the benefits are for way longer . See this like is a good investment. There are 168 hours in a week, so focus on 167 hours of benefits "at the price" of 1 hour or even less of pain. It is a good deal.
Another encouraging aspect is that the more you workout the more your body will tolerate that burning sensation, because the body adapts and will increase its pain tolerance. So with time it gets easier.
And last but not the least focus on the process not only on the results. Try to think how good you feel after each of your workout and reward yourself after each week that you did good by doing something calorie free like watching a comedy . It will make you feel happy and there's no guilt attached to it. You will feel, happier, stronger and more positive.
