We all know that working out
is beneficial. But how you
work out makes all the difference
in staying safe, seeing better results
and keeping your body balanced.
Here’s how to make sure you aren’t
sabotaging a good workout.
1
Bad form. Correct form is your
safety net. Once you compromise
the way you do a move, you’re
no longer getting the greatest benefits
from the exercise, and you’re seriously
increasing your risk of getting hurt.
Even if it means, for example, lightening
up the amount of resistance, follow
the correct form for the best results.

Over-training. Don’t expect that
you are going to dive right in
and pound your body into its
best shape ever overnight. Not only
will this all-or-nothing approach cause
burnout, but you also risk injury and
will give up on yourself, because
this is an unreasonable expectation.
Instead, you need to gradually build
up your muscles so they get the most
effective and efficient workout possible.
More doesn’t always mean better,
faster results. Remember, rest is good
for the body. Take days off between
training to repair and rebuild or if
you’re training daily, don’t work the
same muscle groups back-to-back.
