Top 5 Biggest Gym Mistakes

5. Talking too much: You're in the gym to train and get results, not to socialize. Even though people will say the gym is a great place to meet people you have to make a choice of what's more important to you, meeting new ppl or reaching your fitness goals?

4. Not warming up: Think of your body like your car in a cold winter morning. When you first start your car it'll be a little slower to start the engine and then you have to let the engine warm up for few minutes. If you try to start the car without warming up and drive off, it won't perform its best and it wont be good for your engine in the long run. Well you need to treat your body the same. Just like a car, if you don't take care of it, it won't take care of you. Always warm up by doing light cardio for 5-10 minutes at 50-70% intensity. Also stretch the body part you're about to train for 5-10 minutes. Static stretching is the best method, no bouncing movements.

3. Overtraining: You shouldn't be training for more than 1 hour to 1 hour and half tops. Train hard and get out! Training any longer than that will do more harm than good. Remember, it's not how long you train, its HOW you train that counts!

2. Lifting too heavy: When you enter a gym you need to leave your ego at the door cause thats what it takes for you to have a great and safe workout. You don't need to try to lift the whole gym or grunt and moan like you're having a baby. Lift smart and lift what you can with strict form, not only will this get you faster results but your joints will thank you.

1. Incorrect form: I can go to any gym, look around for 10 seconds, and notice most of the people are training with bad form. It's better not to do the exercise than to do it incorrectly. If you're not sure how to use a certain exercise machine or perform a certain exercise, you can always find a personal trainer willing to help or someone who knows what they are doing. Improper form can also lead to injuries, bad training habits, and no results!
