Most active adults don’t get injured because they’re weak—they get injured because of how they move.

The biggest mistake is repeating poor movement patterns under load.

That’s the #1 mistake I see.

Strength doesn’t fix the poor mechanics you developed.  In fact, getting stronger on top of bad movement often makes the problem show up faster.

Here’s how it usually plays out:

  • You lift, run, or train consistently
  • One side starts to feel tighter or weaker
  • Pain slowly creeps in
  • Eventually, something “randomly” flares up

Except nothing about this process is random. The body is incredibly good at compensating… until it isn’t.

Pain-free training isn’t about lifting lighter forever.  It’s about moving well so your body can tolerate the load long-term without pain.

If you want to stay active for years- movement quality has to come first.

Strong bodies move well.

Healthy bodies move well under load.
