Why not see the results of training, or «What am I doing wrong?»

We go to sports clubs, are engaged in the simulators, in groups of aerobics in the pool, but why it is sometimes hard to achieve this goal and see the results of training? There are several common mistakes. You can try to avoid them.

1. Gym without pre-established plan of training.
Before going to study, sketch out in advance a plan of exercises. Take a look at this as a building: houses are not built without design. Only in this case it will be the construction of your beautiful body.

2. You do not have a contingency plan training.
It may be that the simulator in which you want to go in, occupied by someone else. Do not stand on the spot! Do not wait! Here we will help our contingency plan: replace the one exercise otherwise. For example, if the machine for pectoral muscles is not free, do push-ups. Someone is already doing leg press in the simulator? Lunged. Your goal - to include in the plan varied, but substitutable for one muscle group exercises.

3. Insufficient training intensity.
Unfortunately, often an amateur game of ping-pong is more intense than the workout gym visitor. The intensity of the workout - one of the most important factors in achieving athletic goals. If you train in the range of 12-15 repetitions, then you should try to do 14-15 repetitions. If you can do 20 reps exercises, it is necessary to increase the weight of equipment.

4. Too long vacation.
If your goal is to remove excess fat and become leaner, reduce to a minimum rest between sets, changing exercises. 30-60 seconds, no more.

5. Coaching is not a full amplitude.
If you do only a quarter squat down or bench not to omit the end or lift weights, you're just wasting time in vain. Exercises should be done properly and to bring each repetition until the end. This will not only give the results in training, but also help avoid injury.

6. Too many cardio training.
Aerobic exercise - a necessary addition to strength training and proper nutrition. But they should not occupy the bulk of time spent in the gym.
Be smart. Do not run with all the forces on the treadmill. Yes, your heart rate increase, but at the same time your legs are tired and you're exhausted.

7. You do not seek the advice of professionals.
Why do professional athletes have coaches? Because they know that to achieve the best results they can only help and under the supervision of an experienced mentor. A professional trainer can help you plan lessons, shows how to work with the equipment in the gym, will explain the technique of the exercises, will give advice on training intensity, how to combine power and cardio training, pay attention to mistakes in their implementation. Proper technique - still one of the most important conditions for achieving the desired result.

Only seven common mistakes, but how often they occur!
If you learn to notice these mistakes, to learn how to train for a predetermined plan, to concentrate entirely on the intensity of training and technique exercises, then exactly be able to avoid frustration and achieve its goal: to become leaner, stronger and healthier.
