Fitness Friday

Fitness training isn’t rocket science.

Good training & nutrition decisions produce good results.

Poor training & nutrition decisions produce poor results.

So, how come when I go to the gym, I can pretty much guarantee that I am going to see a lot of intelligent, well-educated people making some pretty poor training decisions?

As a public service, here are a few training mistakes to avoid:

Doing cardio before resistance training

Static stretching(stretch and hold) before resistance training

Training core before legs

Chugging a Gatorade while reading a book on the exercise bike

Thinking that the inner and outer thigh machine is going to work some sort of magic.

Ignoring your weaknesses and over-training your strengths

Believing that Core Training is all about crunches & planks

Training body parts instead of Body Movements

Believing that you can Out-Train a Bad Diet

Making chronic neck & shoulder pain worse by ignoring your postural muscles

Thinking that resistance training will make you too big

Thinking that cardio will make you too small

Performing a one size fits all type of fitness program
