We all need and love to exercise. Exercising is the best thing that you can do for staying fit and healthy. The sad aspect is that exercise can harm than good if you do it the wrong way. Doing exercises the wrong way can hurt you and lead to life long ailments. Some of the common exercise mistakes that we should avoid are as follows.
Skipping the warm up
It is crucial you must warm up before starting the exercise plan. Warm up helps in making the muscles more flexible before you start putting them to work. The warm up schedule gets blood, heat, and oxygen to the body so that can receive the change without any harm.
Inconsistency
One you exercise for two to three hours and then for the next few days if you don’t exercise then it does more harm to your skin. Instead the key is that you exercise for a specified time and rigour on a daily basis to get the maximum benefit from exercising rather than harming your body by being inconsistent. Same consistency rule applies to lifting weight. Lift consistent weight daily, lifting too much on one day and then too less on other days will cause harm. Also bear in mind that lifting too much weight will harm your muscles and result in muscle tear.
Not resting the muscles
Working the same muscles daily can put excessive strain on the muscle and injure them. Muscles need at least 48 hours after a strength workout to recover and rebuild. Target one muscle group daily and thus by cycling the target area, you can get some rest for the muscles before putting them under further stress.
Poor posture
Maintain good posture during your exercise regime as a slouched posture and rounded posture can cause back and shoulder injury. Use professional help to correct your posture.
Exercising the correct way by avoiding mistakes is the key to get the maximum benefit from your exercise regime.
