No Pain, No Gain

This is an extremely useful and widely used phrase in spoken English. The phrase is “No pain, no gain“. “If something in life is too easy, then you won’t have any success”.

I think many cultures have the same idea.  It’s that life isn’t easy.  We need to work hard to get real results.  If you workout in a gym, your trainer might say to you, “no pain, no gain“.

 He (or she) is saying that your workouts should be difficult if you want to get a better body.  You need some “pain” or hard work to get real results.The meaning of this phrase is really, “Real success takes hard work.  It will happen, but you need effort”                                                                                                                                        It’s just that “No pain, no gain” is easier to remember and it sounds a lot cooler too!                                              (speak-fluent-english)
