5 Things You Need To Avoid In The Gym

There is too much information out there on how to exercise your body. And a lot of this information is based on outdated beliefs.

And in worst cases, falling prey to these outdated methods of exercising can lead to serious injury.

So without further delay, here are some common exercise mistakes that you have to avoid:

1. Letting your head tilt down: This is especially critical when doing squats, for instance. You see, if you squat with your head down, your spine takes on an abnormally high amount of stress. And over time, this stress can increase the probability of disk degeneration.

2. Training abs first thing in a workout: Your core is heavily taxed when performing multi joint movements, so if you fatigue your core before doing the hard stuff you will not be able to lift as much. And this is a horrible approach because your main priority in every workout should be to target as much muscle mass as possible.

3. Lifting weights after doing cardio: Again, I’m sure you have heard about the dangers of doing this, yet time and again I see people going to aerobics classes and then lifting weights. The problem with this is that you could burn up all your stored carbohydrates when doing cardio and then have nothing left for your weight lifting. And if you are not weightlifting at 100% then your results will be mediocre.

4. Overusing instability gadgets: You see this a lot in commercial gyms. The problem here is that if your main goal is to build strength and/or muscle mass, you shouldn’t be using stability-challenging devices. Instead, stick to basic movements that allow you to produce the maximum amount of force possible.

5. Using the one set method: This is most common among amateur strength aficionados. Unfortunately, this type of training is not conducive towards maximal strength gains. In fact, one study showed that performing only one set per exercise lead to a decrease in strength.

Ok, hopefully you aren’t making any of these exercise mistakes in your routines and if you are, please stop! And make sure you take action in this information sooner rather than later because later usually never comes.
