The truth? Pushing through exhaustion rarely improves results; it often leads to burnout. Although health experts may use scientific terminology, the body knows when it has reached its limit. It's akin to disregarding the blinking fuel light when driving. Do you feel a persistent stiffness after a long day? It's more than a nuisance—it's a warning.
