Improper form during exercise can lead to injuries due to uneven stress on muscles and joints. When the body is misaligned, certain muscles may be overused while others remain underutilized, leading to fatigue and strain. For instance, poor squat technique can place undue pressure on the knees or lower back. Additionally, repetitive use of improper form can lead to chronic issues over time. Therefore, focusing on correct technique through education and possibly seeking guidance from a fitness professional can help prevent injuries and ensure effective workouts.
