No pain no gain, but that’s insane <br />When you feel pain it’s warning you <br /> that you should really think again. <br /> What it is that you try to do. <br />Increase your strength and stamina. <br />To exercise for its own sake <br /> can often make you go too far. <br />So pace yourself for safety’s sake. <br />For if you push yourself too hard. <br />You do more damage than you know. <br />A heart attack’s a poor reward <br />The best advice is taking it slow. <br />If you are wise you will think twice <br /> Before you over exercise. <br /> <br />17-Sep-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-and-often-will-suffice/
