Mistakes To Avoid When Exercising

By -




The following are common mistakes people make when engaging in exercise:
1. Not drinking enough water -
2. Lack of or insufficient warm up prior to any exercise activity -
3. No cooling down exercise -
4. Doing static or ballistic stretching at the beginning of a work out
5. Exercising too intensely or not intensely enough.

1. Water is very important for you.
Drink Water in the morning when you wake up before going for an exercise. You can drink water in the middle of training also. After training you should also drink.
💟on a normal day an average person should drink like 7 glasses of water.

2. Warming up before an exercise is very crucial  so you don't develop injury. Proper warm up demands that you must have gotten a significant increase of heart rate and body heat.

3. Cooling down is important. Don't just finish an exercise activity and head straight for the showers.  Make sure you do some cooling down like stretches before you leave. Also , when doing an intense workout like jogging and other aerobics, don't just stop the exercise all of a sudden. Gradually, reduce your pace or speed before stopping so as not to affect your cardio system which is being in a more energy demanding state at the time. When jogging for example, reduce your pace gradually until you reduce to walking and then stop.

4. When you fail to do enough stretches for your body and you are into strength and resistance training, your body becomes stiff and hard. This is especially the case for those lifting weights. Also, stretching has amazing benefits for your body and it majorly reduces the chance of getting injuries during a work out.

5. Static or ballistic Stretching at the beginning of a work out: This is a common mistake made by athletes. Don't do this type of stretches at the beginning of your work. Research has shown that it affects performance for that day and more so, you can have injuries like muscle tear since you haven't worked your body enough. Do dynamic stretching instead. There is no risk of injuries and it prepares the body for the work out session. This is why your dynamic stretching should have resemblance with your work out.

6. Don't push yourself too hard by doing too intense exercise or render your training ineffective by training too comfortable either. The key to remember is embedded in these two quotes:

 "Train as little as needed and not as much as possible"- unknown

 "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you"
