Fitness And Training Mistakes

A lot of people hit the gym for several years without getting any significant results, and then they get frustrated and start telling everyone about how you can only get great results in the gym if you use all kinds of supplements and steroids.

If you have been working out for even a couple of months and have not gotten the results you originally expected yet, there is something wrong with the way you are working out and your overall fitness strategy.

This doesn’t mean that all your time was wasted since you have probably strengthened your muscles and tendons quite a bit and primed your body for getting that development you have always wanted. In this article I am going to go through all the mistakes people make when they are in the gym and how avoiding these mistakes can help you reach your training goals and have you see great results just within a couple of months.

The first mistake a lot of people make is that they are in the gym for too many hours at the time. A lot of people brag about being in the gym several hours a day, this is because they think that the amount of gym hours a day is equal to your results. This is far from the truth and it is actually really bad to train a couple of hours a day. It is not impossible to build muscle by doing this, but when most people train a couple of hours a day they are most likely not working out very intensively and are probably spending 50% of that time talking with their friends.

Make sure you keep your training sessions at 45-90 minutes, but go full throttle with breaks of no more than 30-90 seconds before your sets. You will feel that this intensity will give you completely different results.

The next mistake most people make is that they train for the pump instead of training for muscle building. It won’t help you to do 100 pushups and then do 50 fast bicep curls just to get blood into your muscle and look big in the gym, you have to train properly and train for hypertrophy. Make sure you do proper sets of 4-15 reps and really focus on working the muscle you are trying to target.

Avoid these mistakes and you will be well on your way to seeing great results.

First, as nuts as it may sound, you may want to sleep in your work out clothes, so in the morning you can just put your shoes and socks on and you are ready to go.

Secondly, you may want to start wearing a pedometer, this is a device that measures how many steps you walk in a day. You will be surprised how many steps you take just doing your normal tasks. But when you are aware of your steps you will surely make a greater effort to walk more. Like parking your car at the edge of the parking lot or start taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

Third, working out doesn’t mean that you have to have your work out session for a long uninterrupted period of time. In the the evening when watching TV use that time wisely. During Commercials and brakes do 5 minutes worth of exercise. You won’t even realize that you have been exercising. Try to get short periods of exercise in between other tasks. Two 10 minute walks is just as good as one 20 minute walk.

Fourth, just because you go to work daily is no excuse not to exercise. You have breaks that you can either go outside and walk around or choose from one of the many exercises you can do at your desk. When it is lunch break, don’t spend the whole time eating. Eat your lunch and then spend the rest of the time doing some form of exercise. It can be as simple as walking around the building you work in with a friend.

Fifth, don’t think working out has to be something you do by yourself. It is best to involve a friend or relative. If you have someone you are responsible to, you will most likely not chicken out. If you share your exercise time with a friend it will not seem like work, but instead a fun time that you get to share your thoughts and ideas.
