1.Ignoring Improper Form: This is a big one, especially when lifting weights or using exercise machines.
Prioritize quality over quantity. Using proper form ensures you're targeting the intended muscle groups and avoids putting unnecessary strain on your joints, which can lead to injuries.
If you're unsure about an exercise, don't hesitate to ask a trainer for guidance.
2. Pushing Yourself Too Hard, Too Fast: It's important to challenge yourself and gradually increase intensity as you get fitter.
However, pushing yourself to the point of extreme pain or exhaustion is counterproductive and increases your risk of injury.
Listen to your body, take rest days, and avoid burnout.
3. Skipping the Warm-Up and Cool-Down: A proper warm-up preps your muscles for exercise and improves blood flow, reducing your risk of injury.
Aim for dynamic stretches like leg swings, lunges, and arm circles. After your workout, a cool-down with static stretches helps improve flexibility and prevent muscle soreness.
4. Exercising on a Full Stomach: Wait at least 2-3 hours after a large meal before hitting the gym.
Digestion requires blood flow, and exercising on a full stomach can make you feel uncomfortable and hinder your workout performance.
Opt for a lighter pre-workout snack if needed.
5. Dehydration: Staying hydrated is crucial for optimal exercise performance.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, before, during, and after your workout.
This is especially important in warm climates or during high-intensity exercise.
Aim for small sips throughout your workout, not gulping large amounts at once.
