How do I know if pain during exercise is okay?
A mild, dull ache or discomfort that stays at or below about 3 out of 10, does not get worse as you continue and settles within a day is usually acceptable. Sharp, worsening pain, pain that changes how you move, or pain that lasts into the next day is a sign to back off.
Pain does not always mean damage, but it is information. Reduce the load, change the movement, and talk to your coach or doctor if it keeps happening.
General information, not medical advice. If something feels wrong, or you have a health condition, check with your doctor first.
