Exercise Physiology Campbelltown: 3 Common Movement Mistakes Adults Make (And How to Fix Them)

Why Most People Struggle With Movement (It’s Not Just Age)

Here’s the thing: Most adults don’t move poorly because they’re “getting old.”

It’s usually a handful of small, fixable mistakes that add up, leading to pain, stiffness, and frustration.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, here’s what you need to know.

Mistake 1: Chasing Pain, Not Patterns

A sore back? Most people go straight to stretching the back or popping painkillers.

But the real issue is often poor hip mobility or weak glutes, your back is just taking the hit.

What to do:

• Get a proper movement assessment (not just a “where does it hurt?” chat)

• Address the root cause, not just the symptoms

Mistake 2: Skipping Strength for Cardio

Walking is great.

But if you’re not building strength, you’re missing the foundation for pain-free movement and independence.

What to do:

• Prioritise strength training at least twice a week

• Focus on big, functional movements: squats, lunges, pushes, pulls

Mistake 3: Waiting for Motivation

Let’s be honest, motivation is fickle.

If you wait to “feel ready,” you’ll be waiting a long time.

What to do:

• Build a routine that fits your life (not the other way around)

• Get accountability, whether it’s a coach, a group, or a training partner
