Over the 13 years of being a personal trainer in the fitness industry, I have come across two common mistakes that I see health club members not incorporating into daily routines.
The first one is not drinking enough water during your workout. Keeping those muscles hydrated is extremely important and will help decrease the chances of fatigue from settling in.
The second common mistake is not properly stretching at the completion of either your strength training or cardiovascular workouts. Try to make it an effort to take at least 5-10 minutes to cool down and stretch. Your muscles (especially lower back muscles) will be thankful and you will not feel as sore the next time.
Remember to keep well hydrated during your workout and also remember to stretch after your cardio and/or strength training workout. Your body will love you for it!
