You need to get a bit more sophisticated about pain and learn to distinguish different kinds of it. Some pain you can or should just power through, and some you can't or shouldn't.
For example, the "overexerted muscle pain" (aka hitting the lactic acid threshold) is easy to recognize and is pretty harmless most of the time. But a sharp pain in your joint (e.g. a knee) is an excellent reason to immediately stop whatever you are doing and figure out what's wrong.
Except for the motivation-sapping "aargh fsck everything about this" part that makes people never go to the gym a month after their New Years Eve promise :) Better to stay inside the comfort zone until you are fully committed / made it into a habit so unlikely to chicken out and then gradually expand it.
