Exercise Exercise Lose Weight With Exercise Workouts Exercises By Muscle Group From Paige Waehner, your Guide to Exercise In the world of fitness, we have these weird descriptions of pain.  There's 'good' pain and 'bad' pain.  The good kind is when you do an exercise and your muscles burn and you're like, "Wow, Paige, this is an awesome exercise and you are so brilliant for not only thinking of it but allowing me to do it!"  The bad kind is when you move the wrong way and an awful pain shoots through some part of your body and you're like, "Gee, Paige, that movement really hurt...maybe we should go back to burpees!" Or something like that.   Good Pain vs. Bad Pain If you've ever been told to listen to your body when you exercise, you know how hard that is. There are so many sensations, some of them slightly scary, that it's hard to know the difference between good pain and bad pain. Luckily there are some signs that can help you figure it out.
