- They don’t show up. Working out is where many people learn true consistency for the first time in their lives. Most people have never stuck with something for longer than week before they get into exercise. They give up because they expect results quickly. It takes at least 2 months.
- Not asking for help. I have seen many people too proud or too shy to ask for help or advice. Throw that mentality in the trash. Ask trainers or people who look like they know what they are doing. Look for as much advice as possible.
- Thinking that they will lose weight by working out. You will not lose weight by working out alone. Weight loss is 90% diet.
- Not pushing your limit. People want to work out to stay fit, I get it. If you want to build muscle and look good, every set must be 110% effort. I learned this from a good friend and athlete on Quora.
- Becoming attached to one method or piece of advice. There is a lot of advice out there. Hold advice firmly but be able to let it go easily of something better comes along or if you find out you’ve been doing it wrong.
- They eat right before exercise. Your body needs its full strength to have a good workout. Eat an hour before or right after.
- Buying tons of supplements in the beginning. You don’t need any of that shit. If you are consistent, you workout at 110% , and you have a good diet, the rest will sort itself out.
- Taking too much time in between sets to scroll through facebook or talk to others. Sure, take a 5 min break in between sets to talk about Instagram models, but then don’t be surprised when you aren’t making any good progress.
