Two Mistakes People Make While Losing Weight

You may have read a lot about what to start the weight loss regime and how to achieve your weight loss goal. Only a few people know about the common mistakes people make while following a weight loss routine.

I have given my services to different fitness centers and seen many people facing problems because of the same mistakes. I know many people who are working three times a week, but even after three years, they do not find any visible change in their physique. They have joined the fitness center for the transformation of the body, but when they could not get results, they feel dejected. After I have corrected their mistakes, they got satisfactory results within two months.

So let me save your valuable time and money by telling you the same. Here are common mistakes, which are playing a hindrance in their progress.

Mistake Number One: Doing Cardiovascular Training and Avoiding Weights

This is a common mistake when people visit a gymnasium, they think that by doing cardiovascular exercises, they can burn more calories. That is the reason they opt for jogging or cycling, but people are unaware of the fact that by weight training, they can increase their metabolism, which will help in the long run. When you opt for jogging, it increases metabolism, but only when you are doing it. After jogging your body will come to the initial stage, whereas weight training will accelerate metabolic rate and it will stay in that situation for 48 hours. The reason behind this is by weight training you will increase your muscles and muscles burn calories even when you are at rest. There are different health products available in the market, but consume them after discussing your fitness expert.

Mistake Number Two: Doing Isolation Exercises in spite of doing Compound Exercises

Isolation exercises are as the word suggest. When you isolate one muscle and workout it, then it is known as isolation exercise. There are many examples like lat pull down, leg extension and many more.

Compound exercises means to workout different muscle groups in a single movement. You can opt for squats and dead lift for the same. The difference between these two exercises is that by doing isolation exercises your metabolic rate is not increased at that level. When you do compound exercises, it includes different muscle groups and you get a complete workout by doing to 2-3 exercises only. Your total-body workout will accelerate your fat burning process so that you can achieve better results. If you continuously do compound exercises, then your body will become a fat burning machine.

People who are not getting results earlier were flabbergasted by these two simple methods. Actually, they were regular in their workout routine, but after correcting these two mistakes, they start seeing results.

However, you can do cardiovascular training after weight training because this is the time your body will use stored fat for fuel.
