As spring quickly approaches I often see a rush of new people flooding to me and the gym in hopes of quickly losing the extra weight. At the same time those that aren’t training w/ me or that are brand new to the gym find themseleves doing the wrong things which in turn will either cause injury or quitting because you don’t see results. Without further ado here are….
The 5 Common Workout Mistakes & How You Can Correct Them
-Not working out hard enough
Solution: Workout w/ a friend or invest in a personal trainer so he or she can help motivate
you so you make every moment in the gym count instead of wasting precious time & money to your weight loss goals
-Not Doing Strength Training
Solution: Face it if your one of those people that go on the elliptical for 60 mins and thing they are losing weight- I hate to tell you this but that’s not going to do the trick.
If you trying to lose weight you should be doing strength training 2-3 times a week.
By doing strength training you are breaking down the muscle thus speeding up your metabolism and thus burning more fat.
You can’t do that without strength training!
-Not changing your routine
Solution: If you doing the same routine everyday for the last 2 months your not going to see results period! I know it’s easy but if your not challenging your body your muscles adapt & thus you will stop seeing results.
What you can do is either invest in personal trainer, boot 
camp, keep checking here or ask a member of your local health club to show you some new workout ideas to challenge your body so you can see results again.
-Doing an exercise you have no business doing
Solution: There’s a lot of BS out there and lot of people who have no clue what they are doing. Just because the person next to you is doing it doesn’t mean its right for you and/or correct. Consult w/ a personal trainer or someone in your gym to if you really want to know if that particular move is right for you
-Not stretching
Solution: It’s crucial that you stretch for at least least 5-10 mins after your warm up. DO NOT NEGLECT THIS!
There you have it 5 common workout mistakes & how you can correct them. Now go out & make those workouts count!
