Mistake #8: You don’t feel any payoff unless your body hurts.
Some discomfort or soreness at the beginning stages of a workout routine is normal, since your muscles are adjusting to the new activities. It means you're challenging your body, which, in turn, means results. But chronic soreness doesn't mean you're getting an awesome workout every day. It means your body's not recovering -- which is bad since you get stronger and develop muscle while your body recovers (
not while you're beating it to a pulp for the umpteenth day in a row). Safety alert: Make sure you're not confusing muscle soreness with joint pain. Joint pain may mean you did some damage -- see your doctor.
