1. Overtraining. In today’s “all or nothing” society, it’s not uncommon to overdo it.

What to do: Listen to your body and take time for rest and recovery.

2. Using improper form. Whether you’re running, lifting weights or practicing a yoga routine, using proper form is key to ensuring you get the results you want – and avoid your risk of injury.

What to do: Hook up with a personal trainer or coach for a few sessions to ensure you’re performing exercises correctly.

3. Not warming up or cooling down. Warming up primes your body for exercise and helps prevent injury. Cooling down helps prevent muscle soreness and promotes recovery.

What to do: Focus on dynamic stretching, such as brisk walking, arm circles or jumping jacks. Just make sure to focus on the muscles and body parts required for the workout you’re doing. Good cool-down exercises include static stretches that you hold for at least 30 seconds.

4. Sticking to the same workout. Over time, not switching up activity can lead to burnout or injury.

What to do: Include a variety of exercise types to make sure you’re fit enough to do the things you want to do later in life. That means working your heart and lungs with cardiovascular activities, building strong muscles with strength training and keeping muscles and joints pliable with stretching and flexibility exercises.

5. Skipping strength training. Strength training is critical – not just for building strong muscles, but also for preserving muscle tone.

What to do: Resistance training doesn’t necessarily mean lifting weights. Yoga, swimming, and body weight exercises and activities with resistance bands — all help build strong muscles.

6. Not stretching out. The best way to preserve your range of motion over the long haul is to stretch out regularly.

What to do: When stretching it’s important to hold a static stretch for at least 30 seconds as that’s how long it takes for a muscle or tendon to overcome it’s stretch reflex and increase flexibility.

7. Not taking time to rest and recover. The more intense your workout, the greater your recovery needs.

What to do: If you feel like you’re doing too much too quickly, take a step back.

Top Fitee Tips to make your workouts as effective and enjoyable as possible:

1 # Get motivated with a solid workout playlist.
Get pumped up on your way to the gym and during your workout with songs that make you feel strong, powerful, and like you can do anything.

#2 Put your phone on airplane mode
Resist the urge to chime in on your group text or check that Snapchat message. Your workout is the time you get to invest in yourself, so turn your phone on airplane mode to avoid unnecessary distraction.

#3 Warm up with Dynamic stretches
This gradually raises your body temperature and heart rate and starts to warm up your muscles. It helps improve your range of motion, so you can get deeper into each exercise and reap the full strengthening benefits of each move.

#4 Embrace strength training
Strength training improves your bone density, It also prevents against age-related muscle loss, keeps your metabolism humming. It also helps keep your heart healthy by lowering your blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels.

#5 Incorporate compound movements to hit more muscles at once
Compound exercises recruit multiple muscle groups and two or more joints at once. They help you get more done in less time, they’re great for increasing overall muscle mass, and they also burn more calories because they require more energy output.

#6
Give high-intensity interval training a try.
HIIT, refers to short bursts (20-90 seconds)of very hard work followed by periods of recovery. It is incredibly efficient, it improves your aerobic fitness , tones you up and improves strength.

#7 Do workouts you actually enjoy
Finding a workout you actually like is key to staying consistent with your fitness routine. Plain and simple, "if you don't love and look forward to it, you won't do it".

#8 Commit to getting your z’s.
If you're sleep-deprived, you won't be pumped for a workout and you'll have more risk of injury. Sleep is hugely important for many reasons, your fitness game included. Muscle's get stronger in the period after a workout.
