Myth.
Experiencing pain, especially severe pain, during or after workouts is not necessarily a sign of an effective workout. While some discomfort, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), can occur, it is not a requirement for progress or effectiveness in exercise. Many forms of exercise can be beneficial without causing pain, and training should be tailored to individual goals and fitness levels. It's essential to prioritize safety, proper form, and recovery to prevent injuries.
