What is Pain?
Pain - noun
1- Physical suffering or distress, as due to injury or illness.
2- A distressing sensation on a particular body part.
3- Mental or emotional suffering.
Good Pain- "Feel the burn!" It can be hard to believe, but there is such a thing. For example you’re trying your first 27 in 5 and you get the burring feeling in your leg muscles or just getting done with a workout from the gym and/or home. This kind of pain is a burning feeling in your muscles which is an indication that you are working hard, pushing yourself to a new limit.
DOMS- Delayed onset muscle soreness this is a very common thing, normally if you try something different that your muscles are not use to or more than they before. This can last up 24 to 72 hours after whatever training you have done. If you still feel sore for longer than that then it would be best to go get it checked out and hope that it isn't serious. "We can rebuild you. Make you stronger, faster, healthier" this is a saying that relates to a good pain because the exercises that you've done are tiny little tears on your muscles that going to repair themselves so the pain that you are feeling is your body adapting to the new growing muscles. A good stretch before and after will help ease your muscles.
Bad Pain- This kind of pain is the kind that makes you grab that body part, cry, swear, grind your teeth together, just stop whatever it is your doing this is the pain we don't want to have. Sprains, twists and breaks are no joke these things will keep you from skating temporally unless your doctor says otherwise hopefully nothing like that happens because either way bad pain just sucks all the way around. Either way if this happens to you follow R.I.C.E- Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation this acronym is consider a first aid treatment rather than a cure. This doesn't just go for skating anything can happen in your everyday life.
Listening to your body is the best thing you can do as it goes through the changes of helping you improve. Most of the time pain, soreness and aches will go away. Always have a rest day at least once a week so that your muscles have the time to catch up. Don't push yourself to hard to where the bad pain happens and the good pain is basically thanking you.
