As the weather warms up, staying active over summer is great, but these mistakes can sideline you fast! Check out the 3 biggest mistakes people make when increasing their activity with sport and summer and how you can prevent them!
(Bonus points if you can do the Kath and Kel walk without hurting something!) Who else loves Kath and Kim?
1️⃣ Doing too much, too soon
Warm weather=motivation spike… but doing too much too soon leads to a higher risk of injury as our body isn’t prepared or used to that amount of activity.
👉 Build up gradually and avoid big jumps in training or exercise.
2️⃣ Skipping your warm-up
Cold muscles+explosive movement=higher risk of injury. Often with warmer weather we forget about warming our muscles up because the temperature outside makes us feel warm, but that doesn’t mean our muscles are warm.
👉 3–5 mins of dynamic warm-ups makes a huge difference. Think leg and arm swings, taking your limbs through their full range of motion and making sure those muscles are warmed up.
3️⃣ Poor hydration & recovery
Fatigue leads to poor technique (and sore joints and muscles).
👉 Sip water through the day and ensure you’re refueling properly before and after training.
✨ Stay consistent, stay smart, stay injury-free this summer!
