Fitness Mistakes

Nearly every guy or gal who’s tried dieting or fitness has dropped out of a program at least once. Such is life. Work and social events tend to get in the
way, lack of adequate emotional support saps the willpower and boredom sets in.

Eating the same kind of foods every day is boring. Suiting up at the gym only to go through the same motions is also boring. But this kind of mood can be avoided with a bit of planning and a positive attitude. Here’s a list of the most common mistakes people do when trying to get fit.

The number one mistake has to be the failure to plan ahead. Going to the gym with a vague target in mind is the best way to fail. If your target is unclear,
how can you know if you’ve reached it or not? If you’re a little vague on the
details, maybe you need help. Ask a doctor what’s your ideal weight and make
that your goal. Or focus on the number of inches you want to drop off your
stomach, bottom and thighs. That works great, too. Coming up with excuses to avoid going to the gym is second on this list. Yes, life tends to get in the way, but that can be arranged with some more planning.

Don’t quit the program just because something came up at the last moment.
Reschedule your gym session and make sure you don’t get lazy. Don’t work out too little. This may seem too obvious to belong here, but a lot of people lift two dumbbells a couple of times and think they’re done for the day. Sit down at the table for half an hour and come up with a sound training program. If you don’t know enough to make your own program ask a gym trainer or a veteran bodybuilder to help you. People are usually quite happy to show off their knowledge.
