The ‘Intense’ Secret to a Pain-Free Life? (Study)

Let’s face it. We all deal with aches and pains – especially as we get older.
And even if you’re in tip-top shape, dealing with the occasional joint or muscle pain is something nobody can completely avoid.
Unfortunately, it’s all just part of the aging process.
But before you pop an over-the-counter (OTC) painkiller… or cut back on your physical activity…
I’m going to share with you how to achieve a pain-free life naturally!
It just requires you to be more ‘intense.’
Let me explain…
According to a new study published in the journal PLOS ONE, exercising HARDER can help fend off chronic, long-term musculoskeletal pain.
You read that correctly…
Upping your exercise intensity can help decrease pain as you age!
You see, while intense exercise or physical activity can lead to short-term muscle aches and pains, the study found that incorporating some ‘rigorous’ activity into your life can lower your risk of developing long-term musculoskeletal pain.

But here’s the kicker…
This doesn’t mean that you need to start doing intense, grueling workouts every single day…
It simply means that incorporating vigorous activities like jogging, cycling, or even rowing just once a week – coupled with regular, moderate activities like walking or stretching – helps your body maintain a healthy weight and eliminate stress on your joints.
And the less stress you have on your joints, the less pain you’ll feel in the long run.
Again, it’s important to note that the findings of this study are not to suggest that you start engaging in an exercise program that leaves you constantly tired and fatigued.
It just means that to maximize your body’s ability to stay pain-free, you should work to ‘up’ the intensity of your activity every now and again.
For instance, if your current exercise program consists of walking frequently, consider adding some extra distance to your walk, or even jogging, one day a week.
If you’re not currently doing an exercise program, be sure to talk to your doctor before starting anything.
