Question:
1. Mistaking the health club for a social club. The term is 'working out' and not 'playing out'. Look around at the gym and you'll see that gab and flab go hand in hand. Focus, focus, focus.
2. Refusing to warm up before a workout. You're body is not unlike your car. Give it a quick rev on the bicycle or stepper before cruising through your workout.
3. Not taking in enough water before, during, and after your training. Don’t risk dehydrating yourself. Be sure to sip some good old H2O throughout your training session.
4. Working straight through painful (and sometimes serious) injuries. Remember, you macho types. Rambo is a fictional cartoon character. You are not. Learn how to distinguish the good pain of a touch training session from the bad pain of an injury . . . and above all trust your own body.
5. Sacrificing proper form in order to use heavy weights. You must learn to walk before you can run, right? Well, the same goes for weight training.
6. Not having clearly defined goals. Before you even walk in the door to the gym, you should be clear about what your training goals are for that day and how they fit into your overall health and fitness goals.
7. Over-training. More is not always better. Couple muscle groups that correspond to each another, like chest-triceps and back-biceps, etc. Get to the gym, train hard, and go home and GROW!
8. Doing the same exact exercises day after day after day. If you want to develop the V-shape, you must learn that imperative V-word first: Variation.
9. Waiting a hockey season in between sets. If you're looking to build a championship physique, your intermission periods should be short and sweet.
10. Bringing your cell phone along for the workout. This is the newest "hang-up" among gym patrons. Seriously. What's so important that you’d interrupt your training for it?
