descubre los ERRORES que te frenan 🏋️

Start going to the gym It is one of those September challenges that many people set themselves, but few actually accomplish. To a large extent, the lack of motivation comes from the following mistakes that we are going to tell you about; therefore, do everything possible to avoid them.

1. Not setting clear goals

Without a specific goal, it’s hard to measure your progress, and if you’re not able to see your progress then it’s hard to stay motivated. Do you want to lose weight, gain muscle mass or improve your endurance? Each goal requires a different approach in terms of training and nutrition.

That’s why we recommend that you talk to us to set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound). This will allow you to design a training and nutrition plan tailored to your personal needs and goals.

2. Ignoring the correct technique

It’s common to see beginners worried about lifting more weight or doing more reps without paying attention to proper technique. Poor technique not only decreases the effectiveness of the exercise, but also increases the risk of injury.

We see this often at our gym. The way to avoid it is to talk to the instructors, ask for routines, or attend guided classes. Keep in mind that we are here to help you with whatever you may need.

3. Not following a training plan

Training without a structured plan is like sailing without a map: you can end up anywhere but where you want to be. Lack of a plan leads to random training, which can lead to slow and disorganized progress.

The answer is to have a routine developed by professionals, which adapts not only to your goals, but also to your possibilities. Don’t worry about that, remember that not everyone is born learning.

4. Overtraining

As you hear, initial enthusiasm can lead many to overtrain, thinking that more is better. However, overtraining can be counterproductive, leading to extreme fatigue, loss of motivation and even injury.

We advise you to follow a balanced training plan that includes rest days. The body needs time to recover and grow stronger. If you feel like you are overtraining, talk to one of our trainers to adjust your program.

5. Not paying attention to nutrition

Many people believe that the gym is all they need to achieve their goals, but nutrition plays an equally important role. Without a proper diet, it is difficult to get the results you want, whether it is losing fat, gaining muscle or improving performance.

That is precisely why we always offer direct contact with our nutritionists for anyone who wants to complement their routine. We can help you understand how nutrition impacts your training.

6. Comparing yourself to others

Comparing yourself to other gym-goers is a common mistake that can lead to frustration and demotivation. Every person has a different body and progresses at their own pace. What works for someone else won’t necessarily work for you.

It’s important to focus on your own progress. We recommend keeping track of your progress so you can see how you’re improving over time. Whether it’s on your phone, in a notebook, or in an app, think of it this way: you’re only competing against yourself.

7. Not getting enough sleep

Rest is an essential part of training that many beginners underestimate. Without proper rest, your body can’t recover and grow. Lack of sleep is terrible for many things, and it can also affect your performance in the gym.

Make sure you get 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Eat a light dinner, turn off your cell phone, and much more. Tricks will help you fall asleep.

8. Forgetting to warm up and cool down

It’s easy to underestimate the importance of warming up before training and cooling down after your session. Skipping these steps can increase your risk of injury and limit your ability to perform.

That’s why we recommend spending at least 10 minutes warming up before starting any workout and another 10 minutes cooling down at the end. Warming up prepares your muscles and joints, while cooling down helps reduce muscle stiffness and facilitates recovery.

9. Not hydrating properly

Hydration is key to optimal performance in the gym, but it’s easy to forget to drink enough water throughout the day. Dehydration can cause fatigue, muscle cramps, and a decreased ability to concentrate. So remember to always come to your workout with a water bottle to stay hydrated.
