7 Most Common Workout Mistakes Women Make

There is so much advice out there when it comes to getting in a good workout, that it is very easy for a woman to get confused about what is hype and what has been proven to be accurate. Here is a list of 7 common workout mistakes women make that hinder their weight loss goals.

1- Expecting Instant Results
Speaking of faster results, don’t expect to look like a supermodel overnight. Remember, you didn’t gain the weight overnight. It takes dedication and patience along with a healthy diet to achieve optimal results. Give your body the time it requires to make progress.

2-Not Lifting Heavy Weights


For some reason, women have it in their minds that if they lift heavy weights, they will get big and bulky like a man. For making muscles, testosterone is required and the level of testosterone in women is much lower than men. Women are built differently than men and the little testosterone that is excreted normally from ovaries, is just enough to build attractive muscles. A testosterone or steroid supplement would have to be consumed for you to achieve big masculine muscles. There are few natural ways to boost testosterone levels naturally.

3- Not Adjusting The Weight Machines

Now that you are clear on what weight lifting can do for your body, you also need to make sure that you are using the machines properly. Most women are already so intimidated by the weight machines,they consider it an accomplishment that they actually got on the machine and performed the movements. They do not take the time to adjust the machine for their bodies. The machines are not one size fits all. Take the time to sit on the machine and adjust it if needed, before performing your repetitions.
