1. Skipping the Warm-Up
Jumping straight into intense movement increases injury risk. A short, guided warm-up prepares muscles and joints for training.
2. Prioritising Intensity Over Form
Rushing through movements to finish faster often compromises form. Slower, controlled repetitions are generally more effective and safer for beginners.
3. Training Too Often Without Recovery
More sessions are not always better. Adequate rest between sessions allows muscles to recover and adapt.
4. Comparing Progress to Others
Every body responds differently to training. Comparing your pace to someone else often leads to discouragement rather than motivation.
5. Ignoring Coach Guidance
Coaches adjust movements for a reason. Following guided modifications leads to safer, more sustainable progress.
