Waiting for the equipment

Don’t be a lazy bum by visiting the gym during peak hours. Your gym will always be crowded during peak hours and you will have to wait for your turn. Thus, you will spend more time waiting than working out. To solve this, get up early and hit the gym before everyone else. This way, you will get more time to use the machines.

Concentrating only on the treadmill

Treadmill is a great way to get in shape. But did you know it is good enough only up to a certain level? Treadmill helps you get fit by toning your body and strengthening your muscles. To get a slimmer or muscular body, you need to focus on weight training as well.

Overdoing cardio exercises

Some people love cardio workouts way too much. But, there should be a time limit to your cardio sessions. Once you become a regular at the gym, your cardio session should last 25-45 minutes. Do not skip it but do not overdo it either.

Not getting enough sleep

You need to take proper care if you work out regularly. Only a good workout session or proper diet cannot help you see best results. You need to pay proper attention to your sleep patterns. Make sure you get 6-8 hours of sleep every day. This will keep you rejuvenated for your workouts and will improve your health as well.

Being obsessed with weighing machine

Rather than relying only on the weighing machine to analyse the results, try to see visible changes in your body. Try to see how your jeans fit or how firm your thighs feel. These tricks show much far you have come.

Hiring an out of shape trainer

An out of shape trainer cannot do anything for himself; what will he do for you? Also, you would not feel motivated when you work out with an unhealthy or unfit trainer. So try to look for a trainer who is fit and has the skills to motivate you.

Doing cardio before weight training

Do you perform cardio before your weight training session? If yes then it can make you too tired to lift the right weight. So it is better to try weight training first and then go for a cardio session.

Concentrating on targeted weight loss

Spot reduction or targeted weight loss is next to impossible. Instead of such fads, opt for overall weight loss. This way, you will still get fit without setting any unrealistic goal.

Not learning the techniques

Wrong postures and poses keep you from achieving best results from your workout sessions. So, rather than doing any workout randomly, try to learn the right techniques from your trainer. Pay attention to what your trainer says and learn to focus on movements and rest time.

Talking too much in the gym

Having gym buddies is great, they help us and keep us motivated. But, at times, such people might keep you distracted as well. So rather than chit-chatting, focus on your workout and goals.
