GET YOUR DAILY WORKOUT RIGHT!

People commit some common errors while performing their daily workouts. The implication: they never get to see the desired results. Here's how to rectify that

Let's say you have been diligently doing your work-outs. Yet it doesn't seem to pay off. The waistlines keep bulging as ever. You don't seem to feel any fresh and rejuvenated. What's gone wrong?
The answer: you have been committing some key mistakes in your work outs all along.
Here are some common errors that people should avoid while doing their daily work outs:
Getting stuck to a certain pattern of exercising: If you do the same routine over and over, you are likely to hit a plateau because each exercise stimulates only a limited number of muscle fibres. However, if you challenge your muscles from a variety of angles by adding or alternating moves periodically, you will get significantly more fibres into the act and develop more tone and strength.
Exercising too often too hard: If you don't rest enough between certain strength workouts, you will stop making progress and may even lose some of the fitness you've gained. You are also likely to burn out on exercise.
Keep in mind that the more intensely you train, the more time your body needs to recover. It's a better idea to do a couple of tough workouts and take one day completely off each week.
Sticking with the same aerobic workout can sabotage your results as much as pushing too hard. To truly boost your fitness (which enables you to burn more calories with less effort), you need to venture outside your comfort zone a couple of times a week, to the point where you are somewhat winded and can feel your heart pounding.
Lifting the wrong amount of weight: If you lift weights that are too light, you won't see improvements in strength, tone or bone density. If you do lift weights that are too heavy, you will compromise proper form, increasing your injury risk.
Letting your knees shoot ahead of your toes, lifting your heels, dropping your knees inward.
These mistakes place excess pressure on the tendons and ligaments of the knee.
Not flexing from your hips, pulling the weights up too far behind you. These mistakes place stress on your spine and reduce the demand on your back muscles, making the move less effective.
Swinging your upper arm, dropping your opposite shoulder, trying to lift your arm and the weight too high behind you. When you make any of these mistakes, your triceps aren't sufficiently challenged, and you also may place stress on your shoulder and elbow joints.

Excessive affinity to numbers:

Instead of worrying over how many calories you burn or the number of steps you climb, focus on the energy and the strength you feel and how wonderfully you are treating your body.

Getting obsessed over one body part

Focusing too much on your 'problem area' can backfire, causing you to neglect other muscle groups that are as important for your appearance as they are for your fitness. For instance, if your midsection is your main concern, doing hundreds of crunches isn't the answer. Always strive for a balanced workout.

Reluctance to do the unfamiliar

It's only natural to be intimidated by equipment you have never used or classes you have never taken. But venturing into new territory may be just the ticket to better results. If you have been avoiding free weights, ask a trainer to teach you a few dumbbell exercises; if you have shied away from Spinning, hop on a bike.
