Cottage and summer sports season is here.

Pickleball, paddleboarding, golf, swimming, tennis – they’re fun, but they also ask your body to handle movements you might not have done in months.

As Medcan Fitness Manager Simon Lim notes, cottage sports can be risky precisely because we are not used to doing these movements every day.

“Most people go from sitting at a desk all week to asking their bodies to move fast, twist hard and react quickly,” says Lim.

But before you hit the lake, sand or turf, or try kick a ball with as much flair as that FIFA pro you just saw, Simon has some simple, practical guidance to share.

He also has advice for avoiding what he calls the ‘rule of too’ – doing too much, too soon or too hard.
