DON'T PUSH IT

Here are the most common workout mistakes made by people according to certified fitness professionals :

1. Not warming up before workout-
Warmed up muscles are more elastic than cold muscles and therefore the warmed up muscles are less likely to experience stress and strain when you begin to exercise. Also warmups begin to get your lungs and heart working more effectively so that they will ease up to cruising speed more readily when you begin your workout.

2. Not stretching enough-
After you have warmed up your muscles you should stretch them to avoid any stress or injury. This will make your muscles experience less strain. When you workout , you are putting your muscles under tention part of the time. This tends to make them shorten a little. Stretching will help to counteract this shortening.

3. Lifting too much weight-
Many people have a tendency to think in terms of more is better which is okay if you do things very slowly. Lifting too much too soon can put your muscles and joints at risk of injury by putting loads on your body that it is not ready for . Start light with any new exercise and you can increase little by little each week.

4. Jerking while lifting weights-
First thing to keep in mind is weights should always be under control. You should raise weights steadily and lower them slowly in every exercise. Do not let the weights control you and and cause you to drop it. At best you are inviting injury if you do not control the weights, at worst there have been a couple of deaths over the years in men who dropped barbells on their neck during a bench press workout.

5. Exercising too intensily-
You can't make up for the lost time by going too hard at longer intervals. Workout at moderate intensity three or four times a week . Too hard,too often will increase your risk of muscles or joints injury

Note- Guys please don't ever push it if you want a well built body without any injury .
