8 Common Mistakes in Exercising

                                              

 
The trainers and coaches see people making the same mistakes again and again when they start an exercise program. Probably the biggest mistake people make is sets unrealistic goals. They expect spectacular results and are disappointed. If you spent 10, 15 or even 20 years of being out of shape, do not wait to get in shape overnight.

Here are some common mistakes that people make when they begin a new exercise program:

1. Do not drink enough water 
 
Water is the magic elixir of the body. For most of us, it is the only medium we need to drink. Everyone should drink at least 8 to 8 glasses of water each day. If you are over 200 pounds, you should drink at least 12.


2. Do not warm up before any exercise activity 

Our muscles need time to adapt to new requirements that keep them with an exercise program. Start with a few minutes of light aerobic exercise or calesthetics before going to your exercise routine, either aerobic exercise or strength training.

3. Do not refresh after any kind of exercise 
 
Not finishing your workout and head for the showers. Take a few minutes to do some slow, easy to lower your heart rate and stretch exercises muscles. Stop suddenly intense exercise without lowering your heart rate can be very dangerous.

4. Do not stretch enough

You have to stretch before and after any exercise activity. Flexible muscles are less likely to be strained if they are tight. As mentioned above, take a few minutes to warm up first.



5. The exercise too hard or not enough attention 
 
Do not try to fit a week of exercise per day on weekends. Of course, you want results, you have to push a little. You need enough exercise intensity that works a little sweat if you work with weights. In fact, to further the strength training you need to work every muscle failure - where he feels he can not do anything other than this particular exercise. If you do aerobic exercise to get your heart beating in your training zone.

6. Lifting too much weight

This is a common mistake with men. We believe that the heavier the weight that we raise, the more progress you make. This is a great way to ensure an injury. Start with a weight you can handle and gradually increase your muscles to adapt.

7. Jerking while lifting weights

This often goes hand in hand with the above error to lift too much weight. You must be able to control the weight you lift. If you shake weight, you probably have too much weight and you're bound to pull some muscles or strain something.

8. Choose a program that is "In"

Choose exercises that you can enjoy, not that "everyone is doing." You need to plan in the year for the rest of his life. If you do not choose something you enjoy doing, you do not run with it.

If you watch for these pitfalls, you will have a better opportunity to develop an exercise program that works for you and that you can follow. Take it slow and easy, enjoy, and be persistent. The results will help improve their quality of life enormously.
