When we see positive results from the time spent exercising,
we push ourselves to work harder and more often. This often leads to a setback
or injury. Health Briefs explores mistakes made during exercise.
There is nothing more encouraging when working toward a
health goal than to see the results after weeks of working out or exercise. It
is then that we tend to go overboard. Below are some common mistakes we make
when we workout or get some exercise.
We skip a warm-up. Warming up is essential to making muscles
more flexible and pliable. It prepares the body for a good workout and prevents
injury.
We skip meals. The body and its muscles need fuel in order
to burn calories and fat and build muscle. When we skip a meal or do not eat
enough, we slow down and our bodies do not perform as well as they should.
Health Briefs TV suggests setting a specific time each day
to work out and not going over that. Too much exercise is not good and can
cause a setback such as an injury. The body needs time to recover after a
workout. It needs that time to adapt. Give your body a break and take a break.
Follow the advice of personal trainers.
