If you are an amateur at the gym, you will
certainly face problems which you will find baffling to deal with. These things
often turn into screwing up your idea of coming to the gym further. This makes it important for you to first get
introduced to all such common problems and find effective solutions for them.
Although some of these issues may seem to be minor, but they often lead to huge
setbacks in terms of benefits.
Waiting for Equipment
People are bound to form bee-lines at an
equipment in gym during the during peak hours. It’s sheer wastage of time to
follow the league. The best available option is to head to the gym during the
off-hours; either early in the morning before 7 or after 7 in the evening.
Also, try and have alternative options ready in the back of your mind in case
the machines are busy. This way you will stay moving rather than wasting your
time waiting.
Skipping Warm-up
Believe it or not, dodging your
pre-workout warm-up is a sure shot way to get injured when the workout gets
tougher. It is very important to have a dedicated warm-up that involves
bodyweight exercises like lunges, squats, push-ups, and jumping jacks. This
helps in elevating the heart rate before you plan to attack the weights. If
possible, make first set of each exercise you tend to perform lighter than the
further ones as this also works as a great warm-up session.
Not Planning the Routine
Straight walking into the gym without a plan
in mind is always a bad idea. Before starting anything you certainly need to
have a plan for sure. Your plan of work-out should be well-thought out in
advance and it must include the exercises, sets, and reps. You may even include
the order in which you plan to perform the exercises. This helps in cutting
down on the time wastage and rather ensures you straight get down to business.
