Home Workout Mistakes That You Should Avoid

-


Two of the most common reason that home workouts don’t workout for people is either they lose focus and stop workout or they are making home workout mistakes. Inevitably the home workout mistakes you should avoid are the same home workout mistakes that are common to most gyms mistakes. For obvious reasons – the exercises are the same so if you’re doing it wrong, it doesn’t matter where you are when you’re doing them wrong. So whether you are someone who has been working out at home or planning to begin a home workout, make sure you know which home workout mistakes you should avoid.
  1. Not enough or no weight training at allThis should come as a surprise to no one. Whether it is the advertising or the general perception, home workouts seem to include treadmills and exercycles and that’s it. No mention of either dumb bells or of body weight exercises. The truth is that a complete home workouts include cardiovascular exercises as well as weight training exercises. You do not get to pick and choose.
  2. Cardio in the fat-burning zoneIf the treadmill calls it a fat-burning zone then you figure that you will burn more fat by staying on that zone. The truth is – simply put – it doesn’t work that way. While the theory of fat-burning zones might be correct, if you’re looking to lose weight then avoid fat burning zones.
  3. Not pushing yourself during weight trainingThe most common concern with women working out is that if they push heavy weights, they will “bulk up like a man.” Remember: There is NO basis to this myth and this belief is completely untrue. On the other hand, simply flailing light weights won’t benefit you either. Light weights or heavy weights, you need to be constantly pushing yourself. 
  4. Home workouts don’t change
    Doesn’t matter how tough and challenging your home workout is, at some point your body will start getting used to it and eventually you will get bored with it. The fact is that you do not need all sorts of gym equipment in order to vary your workout. Therefore, look to change your workout every month or so to keep it fresh and ensure that you’re motivated and focused.
  5. You’re eating too much or the wrong foodsWhether you’re looking to lose weight or maintain the weight you are at and build muscle, the workout will be for nought if you are not eating appropriately. No matter how much you workout, you won’t lose weight if you eat more than your burn. Moreover, your diet needs to be a correct balance of protein, carbs and fats and missing any one or eating them in an unbalanced way is a straight ticket to incorrect or no results. A workout is not a “eat what you want” card and your diet must always support your workout.

Like we said in the beginning, the home workout mistakes you should avoid are not necessarily workout mistakes that you could fix by going to the gym. They are mistakes that you are likelier to miss because you would inevitably be working out alone or without a professional around you. Remember, when done right, a home workout can be as effective as any other workout but done right implies that you make sure to ged rid of all home workout mistakes.
