Injury Prevention & Long Term Training: How to Train So Your Body Still Works in 5, 10, 20 Years
The Fundamentals of Fitness by Alison Berrisford
Episode notes
Have you ever felt a small tweak during training and suddenly found yourself scared to move properly again?
In this episode, Alison breaks down what injury prevention really means — and why most injuries aren’t caused by “bad exercises” or fragile bodies, but by how training stress is managed over time.
You’ll learn why fear-based training advice often backfires, how fatigue and load quietly increase injury risk, how to tell the difference between normal training sensations and true warning signs, and how to build a body that’s resilient, confident, and capable long-term.
This episode is about moving away from avoidance and panic, and toward intelligent training that keeps you strong, adaptable, and training for life.
