- Not Treating Exercise as a Skill
Many view exercise as just a means to sweat and get sore. However, most effective exercises - from squats to running - are skills that require proper technique. Approaching exercise with a "practice" mindset focused on developing good form dramatically reduces injury risk while improving results.
The experts emphasize that avoiding these common pitfalls can help people achieve better health, longevity and fitness results. They encourage adopting a long-term approach focused on sustainable habits and skill development rather than chasing quick fixes or extreme programs.
