Small repeated exposures to difficulty are said to strengthen the body and mind. Controlled doses of hardship are presented as ways to leave the comfort zone without necessarily causing damage. Effort near the edge of discomfort is presented as more adaptive than easy movement inside the comfort zone. The source favors regular controlled discomfort instead of reckless extremes. Productive discomfort includes controlled hardships such as cold showers, burpees, hard workouts, difficult hikes, early practices, and demanding training.
