In working with older adults or those new to getting fit, how to describe to difference between ‘pain’ and ‘burn’?
Hi Linda,
particularly when working with older adults, I do not ‘go for the burn’ at all. I instruct them to go to the point where they feel tired and the weights seem to get heavier. Unless it is a previous muscular injury, I draw a distinction between sensations in the muscles vs in the joints themselves.
