Avoid These Seven Workout Mistakes!
1.No pain, no gain- Listen to your body. Know when it’s had enough. This takes a great deal of practice, however, to know the difference between whining and warning. Better to pull back before something gets hurt.
2.Timing-an erratic workout schedule confuses your body and your brain. Try to exercise close to the same time each day.
3.Not enough exercise-it takes the body and brain up to twenty minutes just to warm-up and be ready to exercise. Devote enough time to your workouts to make them productive.
4.Talking too much- Focus on the workout for the body and don’t complicate things with comments or running conversations. Do focus on breathing.
5.Too much water-Drinking fluids during a workout can cause stomach cramps because when the liquid hits the stomach blood rushes to digest it. This drains valuable oxygen from the muscles which need it for energy. Drink before and after a workout but try to avoid drinking during the session.
6.Not enough recovery time-Plan exercise routines of varying intensities and space them out over several days.
7.The wrong clothing-Wearing improper clothing will interfere with the body’s ability to move safely. No jeans or big floppy shirts that cover your face when upside down in Downward Facing Dog pose. You need to breathe!
