Challenges Faced by Weekend Warriors

​

1.  Inconsistent Activity Levels

Limited physical activity during the week followed by intense bursts of exercise can strain the body, leading to injuries.

2.  Poor Conditioning

Lack of regular stretching or strength training can result in muscle imbalances, poor flexibility, and decreased joint stability.

3.  Repetitive Strain Injuries

Activities like running, cycling, or recreational sports may lead to issues like tennis elbow, shin splints, or plantar fasciitis.

4.  Posture-Related Issues

Sedentary weekday habits (e.g., desk work) can create poor posture, making the body less resilient to physical stress.

5.  Delayed Recovery

Inadequate recovery practices can exacerbate soreness, stiffness, and minor injuries.
