Episode 191 – Why Learning New Activities Feels Harder As An Adult (And How To Make It Easier)
Learning new skills or picking up new activities as an adult can feel frustrating — like your body just won’t cooperate. If you were used to picking things up more quickly as a kid, it’s easy to slip into the “I must just be “too old” mindset. But learning as an adult is just a different ball game. In this episode, I share what wakeboarding reminded me about movement skill learning, why “just practice” isn’t enough, and how breaking things down + building a stronger foundation makes progress easier (and more fun).

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.
I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.
Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
