| 1. |
Watch your posture at all times while exercising. Hanging on to the equipment, slouching cheating with wieghts will cause more harm than good. |
| 2. |
Keep your mind on what you are doing. This is not social hour. Focus on each part of your body until you feel the burn. |
| 3. | Not including cardio, strength training and stretching each session. |
| 4. |
Falling into a rut by not altering your routine. Try adding an extra workout per week, increase your workout by 5-10 minutes, use interval training or add an incline, run in the opposite direction. |
| 5. | Believing exercise includes permission to eat anything. |
| 6. | Being impatient. The body will grow into a younger you, but it takes time. You have to work at it. |
| 7. |
Rushing. Exercise must be about improving the mind body connection. Rushing your reps is a good way to get injured and set back a couple months. |
| 8. |
Consuming sugary sports drinks or energy bars as if they are good for you. Great marketing, bad idea. |
| 9. |
Burning out. Not thinking long term. This is a part of a new lifestyle that must be embraced for the remainder of your time here on earth. |
| 10. |
Advancing into more complicated techniques before the body is ready. Stay with the basics for 2 years. You will understand what I’m saying later. |
Most of all enjoy yourself, you will never stick to something unless it brings you pleasure.
