Mastering Pain: Training Smart Around Injuries with Eik Gylfadottir

When we talk about volume, we're talking about how many times we're doing it.
Ever wondered how to keep up with your training despite an injury? In this episode of 'Building Thriving Lifestyles', Eik Gylfadottir dives into the art of training smartly around injuries. She breaks down the four rules of pain, a practical guide to knowing when it's safe to push through and when to pull back. Eik emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and prioritizing proper movement before ramping up the intensity or volume of your workouts.
One of the standout points is her advice on pain management: if your pain level is less than three out of ten, you can safely continue training. But that's not all—she also talks about the significance of good technique and form, stressing that moving well is key to avoiding further injury. For those currently nursing an injury, Eik suggests focusing on pain-free techniques and gradually building up from there.
She even offers a simple one-minute task to kickstart your recovery journey. If you're looking for actionable tips on how to navigate training with an injury and come out stronger, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to 'Building Thriving Lifestyles' and get inspired to train smarter, not harder.
