What to avoid at the gym!!!🥤❌

People of the world, we know that a gym is a great place to get some peace of mind as well a rush of adrenaline. But some people have extremes, so here’s a little advice for the over-do-er’s, a few don’ts to follow at your gym.

· Talking to your pals: - The best way to while away time is this. But it isn’t, this prolongs your workout and wastes time and gives your body rest at the wrong time. You’re goal at the gym is to finish your sets with adequate rest between sets i.e. 1 min to 2 min 30 seconds depending on the intensity of the workout.

· Taking extra-long breaks between sets or variations: - People, it has been noticed that a lot of us take really long to recover between sets as sometimes the intensity of the workout gets high. The key here is to test how much you can with-stand and sustain it for sometime. Once you are used to that level, you can kick it up a notch. That saves time as well as keeps you going. Also taking long breaks gives your body a long cool down phase at wrong intervals. So keep shorter breaks between sets and variations.

· People who bring juices to the gym is the next big “NO-NO” at the gym:- The best replenishment is water, however you like it, hot, warm, cold, take your pick. Juices are unnecessary and not required as they have added flavour and preservatives and slows your workout down. The juice will make you feel heavy and then you’ll feel lethargic to finish, so it’s best if you keep them away from the gym. You may have your juices (freshly squeezed or from a tetra pack) at home or elsewhere.

· My this point is for the “GYM RATS”, “FREAKS”, “NERDS” and what other names you go by... The people hitting the gym every day... These people are colluded with the thought that if they miss a day at the gym, they may lose weight or even gain weight depending on their body type. But it’s false, if you follow a healthy diet and simple workout routine; you need not hit the gym seven days a week. Your body needs a break as well, without adequate rest your muscle breakdown takes much longer and results take longer to show. For men, since they are testosterone driven, at rest their muscles will hypertrophy, whereas in women since they’re oestrogen dominant hypertrophy is lesser. So keeping this in mind, take the necessary steps and “Zedge it”.

· A Personal Trainer: - A lot of people in gyms do not have a personal trainer and that’s because they aren’t free and they are definitely not cheap, but it is necessary to have one. Personal trainers should be made mandatory, they help with form and technique and are knowledgeable and help keep you motivated and keep you on track with your workouts and a whole host of other things. They try their best to give you a variety of workouts, so that you don’t get bored doing the same thing over and over again. So get a Personal Trainer, because, “they’re worth it”.

· My next observation in the gym is that clients check their weight countless times.There is a good time to check your weight and that is in the morning before eating or drinking and prior to plunging into your daily activities. For the most reliable number, be sure to check your poundage at a consistent time, whether daily or weekly.

· Bringing on the new trend of “Selfie Addicts”, it is not necessary to capture every “Nano- Second” of your life. The gym is a place where you push yourself and strive for greatness, bettering yourself, pushing the envelope of new P.R. - levels. It's not a place where you while away precious time taking millions of photos of yourself, to post on social media. So love yourself and achieve your goals.

So, on this bombshell, happy gym-ing...
