1. Having Unreasonable Expectations:
When starting out as I have
previously mentioned setting goals for yourself is really helpful in setting a
focus for your routine and your overall mindset. However, expecting to lose x
amount of pounds or gain a certain amount of muscle in a short period of time
is unrealistic. Getting that dream beach body is
totally achievable as can be seen through the multiple transformations
on colossus fitness, however these things take time. So, have patience, enjoy
your workouts and know that soon you’ll love your transformation and in 20
years your body will be thanking you!

2. Workout Rut
Sometimes we get into patterns of doing the same thing every time we want to sweat. We are all guilty of getting into that nice familiar routine, whether it’s at home, in a class or in the gym. It is important to keep in mind our bodies adapt! In order to get the results you want change up your workout every few months and have variation in what you do throughout your week. Rather than having easy consistent workouts that do not provide results, you’ll start to feel the burn and see the results you are trying to achieve!

3. Skipping Stretches
Okay, I’ll admit I am totally guilty of this one! Sure, stretching can be super boring, but it is really important! Although, it has not been proven to reduce risk of injury, it has been proven to increase circulation, which will supply nutrients to those hard working muscles. It also can alleviate pain and stress, making your day-to-day life overall more comfortable. Plus who doesn’t want to be more flexible?

4. Skipping The Gym:
Any amount of
exercise is great, so by saying this I am by no means suggesting that going a
couple times a week is pointless. However, to see desired results in your appearance
the ideal amount of visits to the gym a week should be about 5-6. Sometimes it
is easy to convince ourselves we are far too busy with work and school or
whatever it is occupying your time. The only thing I have to say to that is priorities! Even going for half an hour and doing
a quick workout is something, it is totally an achievable amount of time to
make in your day that will benefit and extend your life.
