Listening to the body, part 2: muscular conditioning by Mary E. Sanders, PhD

Teaching participants how to tune into the body during exercise provides them with valuable feedback they can use to determine their individual normal responses. By developing these listening skills, individuals are better prepared to find the threshold where the effort required for health gains balances with personal comfort, encouraging long-term exercise adherence. Those who understand the right feel of the work can take charge of their exercise intensity and individualize movements as needed.
