Common Fitness Mistakes
Mistake No. 1: Skipping strength training
I see a lot of people ( women especially ) skip strength training and think that getting on a cardio machine will do it, this is not the case. You need to mix a healthy amount of strength training into your workouts, I recommend 3 to 4 times a week.
Mistake No. 2: Doing it alone
Being accountable is something you have to take pride in. Make an appointment with a gym buddy, sign up for a class, or work out with a trainer. Make sure you stay consistent and you enjoy what you are doing, you should eventually look forward to your workouts!
Mistake No. 3: Trying to ‘spot reduce’
This is the classic case of someone who points to one area on their body and says, “I want this to go away”. Getting into shape and becoming healthy is a lifestyle change with that change will come results. Stick with it- eat healthy and push yourself physically 3 to 5 times a week. You will start to feel and see the change in all areas of your life including that “spot” you focus on.
Mistake No. 4: Neglecting nutrition
They say nutrition is 80% and working out is 20% with this said, you can not expect results if you workout and don’t change your eating habits. It should also be stated that healthy eating will be necessary for a partnership with physical training. DO NOT starve yourself or cut back your food to an unhealthy dosage, just make smart choices and watch your portions!!!!
