5 Common Workout Mistakes That Are Holding You Back
As a personal trainer for over a decade, I’ve seen countless fitness enthusiasts make the same mistakes that prevent them from reaching their goals. Today, I want to share the top five workout mistakes I frequently encounter and how to fix them.
The most common error I see is rushing through exercises with poor form. While it might feel like you’re working harder, improper form not only reduces the effectiveness of your workout but also increases your risk of injury. Take the time to master basic movements before adding weight or complexity.
Another frequent mistake is skipping the warm-up. I get it – you’re pressed for time and eager to jump into the main workout. However, those 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching and mobility work are crucial for preventing injury and improving your overall performance.
