In working with older adults or those new to getting fit, how to describe to difference between ‘pain’ and ‘burn’?
Hi Linda,
I would let them know they will feel a fatigue or heavy feeling with the weights, or get to the point where they can no longer continue to do the exercise with proper form. You can usually watch the expression on their face as well, that will tell you about where they are. Sometimes, it may be hard for them to distinguish pain from burn.
Hope this helps.
