ache.jpgIt reminds me of something I read in Ross’ books. Aches and pains are an entirely normal and natural response to your body experiencing a new stimulus. If the aches and pains aren’t stopping you dead in your tracks then work through them and carry on.

You’ll often find soreness disappears after just 5 mins of warming up with some light resistance and flexi work.

If you’re nursing crippling whiplash or bedridden with a slipped disk then thats a bit different – rest!

You’ll notice as you train more that the aches and pains will reduce an they’ll occur less often as your body adapts.

Something I noticed a while ago was when my training partner for jujutsu said they were aching after the previous days training. Yet I realised – I wasn’t. In the past I would have been aching badly but it seems to fitness work I’m doing is making me more able to cope with the rumble of skills training and fighting.
