Foolish mistakes to avoid in the fitness centre - lets lift!

With so many pieces of equipment to work with and people taking up racks and benches, it can be hard to set up a routine. To save yourself time and make your workouts more effective and safe, make sure to avoid the following mistakes.

• Waiting for equipment or benches to open up.
• Skipping the warm-up or cool-down can open you up to injury due to lack of blood flow.
• Doing cardio before a big lifting session may fatigue you going into your lift. This can result in poor form or injury.
• Not increasing intensity or number of repetitions of an exercise over time.
• Not timing rest periods can stretch out your gym session far longer than necessary.
