Introduction
On August 13, 2023, it’s important to address a prevalent misconception among many trainers. Some think that fitness is a breeze and that theoretical knowledge isn’t necessary for getting into great shape. But this idea is off – base. Those who lack certain training theories in their fitness journey often face losses and achieve poor exercise results. Fitness isn’t as simple as it seems. For strength trainers in particular, not having basic training theory knowledge means a high risk of injury and difficulty in finding the right workout feeling.
Do trainers have to be well – versed in theory before starting? No. We can learn as we progress, which allows for quick improvement and timely application of training theory. Here are four common fitness mistakes to avoid for more efficient training.
Mistake 1: Easy Distraction During Workout
In the gym, it’s been noticed that some trainers are easily distracted during training. A nearby occurrence can break their concentration, and they might even look at a passing girl. Concentration has a huge impact on the training effect, especially in strength training. Without sufficient concentration, it’s hard to stimulate the muscles and the training feeling is poor, resulting in a bad training effect. So, during workouts, it’s advisable to stay focused, keep away from phones and other distractions, and concentrate on training to get the best training sensation.
Mistake 2: Training with Excessive Weight
As the old saying goes, “Do what you can; don’t be a hero.” The same applies to fitness. Use weights that you can handle. Don’t over – load your exercises with too much weight. This ensures training quality and keeps the training risk in check.
Mistake 3: Insufficient Exercise Self – Awareness
Fitness requires self – awareness. When you feel that fitness is just about pushing yourself, it’s hard to build a good body because you don’t find joy in the exercise, only pain, which can lead to the thought of giving up. In the training process, we should first find the fun aspects of exercise to improve self – awareness.
Mistake 4: Lack of a Training Goal
Having no goal in fitness is like having no life goal. You’ll train in confusion, not knowing what you’re working out for, and it’s hard to stay committed. So, during exercise, find a realistic training goal and train hard towards it to gain more training motivation.
