As a Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach, I constantly see
people working out with their current fitness training
regimes and struggling in getting the most benefit in the
least amount of training time. I call it Getting Fitness
Training Efficiency. I have provided you a short concise
list of those most common fitness training mistakes made
when performing your resistance training program.
1. Too much machine work. Many women and men train using
too often just their preferred machines, which limits their
range of motion and does not work their muscles in an
efficient and effective manner. Ultimately this can limit
the engagement of small stabilizer muscles that give you
maximum benefit throughout your fitness training program.
2. Not lifting enough weight. A lot of women do not lift
enough weights to engage their muscles for long-term muscle
growth.
3. Working only half of your body. A lot of men focus too
much on just their upper body and end up mainly training
their chest and arms, thus making their body parts look
very unbalanced and disproportionate to each other.
4. Too many reps. Many women do too many reps per set, once
again not allowing their muscles the opportunity to grow
and develop so that they can change their muscle/fat body
composition.
5. Overtraining. The benefits of resistance training,
unlike cardiovascular work, come after the training is
over. Sometimes people think more is better and in
resistance training that is not always the case.
6. Not fueling their bodies for training... ...Both before
and after training. Your body is an engine that must be fed
with high octane, good quality fuel to maximize your
fitness results. Starving yourself before or after a
fitness training workout limits your capacity to perform at
peak levels.
7. Training the same way. Any fitness training program that
is more than 4-6 weeks will not only get stale for you, but
will provide you diminishing long term fitness results.
8. Cardio before weights. Wearing yourself down prior to
your resistance training workout with cardio can only
reduce your opportunity to get the best possible training
session.
9. Steady as she goes. A big mistake is keeping your
fitness training pace always in moderate mode.
Incorporating High Intensity Training is the way to keep it
fresh, fast, and effective.
10. Cardio, cardio and more cardio. Burning fat is a great
thing, but burning muscle is a bad thing. Cardio is a good
fat burner, but also can burn muscle if you over indulge.
