Have you ever done some exercise that hurt or was less than comfortable? It makes you think that you certainly don't want to experience that again.
I get that! I have felt that, but it won't always be that way. What is uncomfortable now can be easier for you to accomplish in the future. Now that truth bares some good and some bad news with it.
The good news is that adaptation that your body will go through is what will help to refine and elevate your health and functional capacity. On the other hand, it will also mean that you need to lift more, or run faster, or perform against more resistence to get to the point of discomfort in future workouts.
With physiological change and improved efficiency, your body will need to be challenged more for further adaptations. Might sound like a terrible result, if you don't want to try harder. But really, it is an awesome side effect of exercise! You are stronger and/or fitter and can endure more.
You might even crave a higher challenge! I didn't think that I would and now have 3 half-marathons under my belt! You CAN do it. The block is mental not physical for most. That said, be sure to be safe with your workout program, and if you have any questions about your safety, please check with your physician.
