We all have comfort zones. Some we recognize like apple pie and sinking into your soft couch at the end of a long day, but we also have comfort zones we don’t know about. You start a new exercise program and everything feels uncomfortable, awkward, hard. But we adapt quickly to whatever we consistently do and that means we develop a level comfort even to painful endeavors. Pain becomes familiar, our level of discomfort is predictable, and therefor to some degree… comfortable. You won’t even know it’s happening. That is, until you get out of this new comfort zone. Either by adding volume, intensity, frequency, or variation. Something to think about next time you think you’re facing down an uncomfortable situation. Could it be more uncomfortable?
