Mistakes To Avoid When Lifting Weights

• Holding Your Breath
• We get it.
• It is a natural inclination to hold your breath
  when doing any kind of strenuous exercise whether
  it is jump squats or burpees or lifting weights.
  However, lifting weights can lead to an increase
  in blood pressure and this can sometimes cause
  hernia or you might even lose consciousness.

• Not Taking Any Rest
• Another mistake that strength trainers often make
  is not taking any rest between their workouts.
  What people fail to realise is that their muscles
  get sore after every weightlifting session and
  they need some time to get back to a relaxed
  state.

• Lifting Weights Through Injuries
• You do not need to work out every single day or
  as per your schedule, especially when your body
  needs rest. So, if you have some sort of an
  injury, be it a sore muscle or a sharp pain in
  your legs. it is better to give it a rest.

• Not Correcting Your Form
• Not correcting improper form and technique is
  another reason why people never get the most
  benefits out of their routines. If this is your
  first time increasing your weights, try to find a
  fitness specialist who can improve your form and
  help you lift the weights properly.

10

• Not Eating Enough
• One of the most common weight lifting mistakes
  people make is not giving their bodies the
  nourishment they need. You cannot run your car
  without fuel and neither can you lift weights
  without eating before and after a workout.

11

• Include healthy fats, lean protein, and good
  carbohydrates in your diet because the lack of
  these nutrients wont allow for an efficient
  workout.
