So many people don’t workout or even stretch and wonder why they have body aches or pain.

I started running a year ago. Never felt better.

I started running and my knees ran out

Proper form is essential to running. There are so many people jogging out there with bad form and little do they know it does them more harm than good.

What is the proper form then?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I started working out pretty heavy way back to stop being underweight but I still go multiple times a week to upkeep. I hate it but it keeps me from this shit.

Staying fit keeps most of your body working way better for longer. You can feel bodily discomfort in the gym on your terms, or at random on nature’s terms.

Bend them or end them

Your body adapts to the stresses you put on it, folks.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To a degree. It will adapt only so far. If you give it more than it can handle on a regular basis you're doing more harm than good.

I'm talking consistent effort over years or decades though. Thinking about how your bones are constantly renewing themselves and you have a completely new set every 5-10 years is the kind of consistency I mean. Of course this would be hindered by injury or over use before can adaptations occur. You need to give yourself recovery time no matter the fitness routine or athletic level.
